/k/ I am looking to buy my first shotgun and I am looking at

Yes.

If it's made before 2008 then go for it.

>>33702656
What is wrong with newer models?

>>33702606
If it's made before 2007-8 then it's good. If it was made after that then it's trash unless it was produced at their "police" plant. IE get a police model.

How do I obtain a police model?

>"police" plant
Police shotguns run on the same line as the non-police guns. The main difference is the level of quality control.

I briefly worked in the Ilion plant in 2008.

Watch out for police trade ins online, otherwise you will pay too much.

I would buy a Mossberg instead.

quality control went to shit. if you want newer just get a mossberg 500, it's roughly equivalent

Sad but true. Got a 870 in 20g for hunting a two years ago. Couldn't get it to sight in for shit. Wasted $60 worth of expensive Hornady Sabots before I noticed they mounted the optic rail crooked af. Sent them two emails. NEVER responded!! My Remington 700 sps tactical and 870 are two of my favorite guns but the way they treated me as a customer ensures I will NEVER buy a new Remington for a long time.

Get a mossberg, their QC is much better, it does the same thing and they can be had cheap without having to play the find a model from before they fucked everything game
