Frequently Asked Questions
Remington 870 DM
How much is the Remington 870 DM?
Remington 870 DM shotguns typically sell for around $500, with prices ranging from $250 to $650 depending on configuration and condition. New models carry an MSRP of $499–$599.
What is a Remington 870 DM?
The Remington 870 DM is a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun that uses a detachable box magazine holding up to 6 rounds, rather than the standard tubular magazine. It is built on the standard 870 platform and designed for faster reloading in home defense and tactical applications.
How many rounds does a Remington 870 DM hold?
The Remington 870 DM holds 6 rounds in its detachable magazine, which replaces the traditional tube magazine found on standard 870 models.
Why are Remington 870 hard to find?
Supply constraints, past quality control issues during Remington's bankruptcy period (2020), and high demand have all affected availability. Certain variants are scarcer than others. Production has resumed under new ownership, so availability is improving. Check multiple retailers, as stock varies significantly by location and model.
What are the common problems with 870 shotguns?
Common issues include the forearm locking up after firing, requiring wiggling to eject shells. Extraction difficulties occur with cheap ammunition or guns needing break-in. Some users report factory defects including incorrectly installed latches, rust, broken ejectors, and chamber damage. Regular cleaning resolves many of these problems.
Are drum magazines worth it?
Drum magazines hold more rounds but are heavier, harder to load, less reliable, and more expensive than standard box magazines. Note: if you're asking about the Remington 870 DM, it uses a detachable box magazine, not a drum. For most users, standard box magazines are the better choice.
Is it better to have a longer or shorter barrel on a shotgun?
Barrel length affects handling and performance. Longer barrels swing smoothly, slightly increase velocity, and suit distant targets like waterfowl. Shorter barrels move faster and are easier to carry, making them better for home defense or tight spaces. Choose based on your intended use and shooting style.
Did Remington discontinue the Tac 14?
Remington has not discontinued the Tac-14. Multiple variants in 12 and 20 gauge remain in production and are listed on Remington's website. Some production delays have occurred, but the firearm is still being manufactured and sold through retailers.
