PLEASANT SURPRISE/MODEL 870™ EXPRESS® COMPACT JR 20 ga./SRP $411.00
Very glad to see this model, and to my surprise there have been several gun magazine articles lately showing the comparison between the ever-popular 12 ga. vs. 20 ga.-a cartridge that I've been an advocate of (over the 12) for many years.
Maybe others are seeing the merits of a smaller, lighter pump gun that can still serve admirably well as a home and personal defense/hunting arm, without the vicious kick (recoil difference 30-50% less) and heavier weight of the 12. The fact that the 20 is about 2x more powerful (relatively speaking) than a 'Dirty Harry' .44 Magnum revolver never seems to dawn on some. Consider that, next time you are thinking of buying yourself a scattergun, will you?
OVERVIEW:
Young shooters are more likely to become stewards of the shooting sports if they start with a gun that fits properly. Exactly why we crafted our standard, premium-grade stocks with a shorter length of pull, then fit them to some of our finest firearms. for 2009, all compact firearms are equipped with our new Adjustable Length of Pull System. So, fit can be customized to youngsters as they grow, and adults requiring a shorter length of pull can tailor compact firearms to their specific needs. Rifles feature 20" barrels and youth shotguns have 21" barrels (20" for deer gun).
Our 20-gauge Model 870 Express Compact jr. in black synthetic. All Jr. offerings have a 1" shorter length of pull than standard compact models.
KEY FEATURES:
Shorter 12" length of pull (1" shorter than compact model)

Perfect length, weight and balance for smaller-stature shooters
Gauge: 20
Action Type: Pump
Average Weight: (lbs.) 5 3/4 lbs.
