Description
The Remington 870P Speedfeed Stock 12g 18″ Barrel Rifle Sights 4rd is a purpose-built, law enforcement-grade pump-action shotgun. It’s a no-frills, rugged 12-gauge built on the legendary 870 action, featuring an 18-inch cylinder bore barrel with rifle sights, a 4-round magazine tube, and the iconic Speedfeed stock with integrated shell holders. This is a serious tool for serious work.
I’ve put hundreds of rounds through various 870Ps over the years, and they just work. The action smooths out with use, but even out of the box, the reliability is what you pay for. Here’s the thing—this isn’t a sporting clays gun; it’s a defensive and tactical workhorse. The Remington 870P Speedfeed Stock 12g 18″ Barrel Rifle Sights 4rd is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Key Features
- Speedfeed IV Stock: The defining feature. Holds four extra 12-gauge shells (two on each side) in the buttstock for immediate access. It’s a classic design that just makes sense.
- 18″ Cylinder Bore Barrel: The ideal length for maneuverability in tight spaces without sacrificing ballistic effectiveness with standard buckshot or slug loads.
- Rifle Sights: A blade front and notch rear provide a much faster and more precise sighting system than a simple bead, especially for slug use.
- Law Enforcement Configuration: Built to 870P (Police) specifications, which historically meant better quality control, a parkerized finish, and a heavier-duty extractor.
- 4-Round Magazine Tube: Keeps the profile sleek and handles most defensive scenarios. It’s easily extended with aftermarket kits from brands like Nordic Components or TacStar if needed.

That weight—around seven and a half pounds—soaks up recoil surprisingly well, making follow-up shots more manageable than with a lighter shotgun. The parkerized metal finish is durable and resists corrosion, a must for a gun that might see harsh conditions. The price point of $473.37 puts it in a competitive spot for a dedicated defensive firearm with these features.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is for the homeowner who wants a proven, simple, and intimidating defensive tool that requires minimal fuss. It’s for the prepper or rural resident who values absolute mechanical reliability above all else. It’s also a solid base gun for someone wanting to build a tactical shotgun, as the 870 platform has unparalleled aftermarket support for parts from Mesa Tactical, Magpul, and SureFire. If you want a shotgun that works every time you pump the action, this is your baseline.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Legendary reliability of the 870 action. The Speedfeed stock provides integrated ammunition storage without add-ons. Rifle sights are a significant upgrade for accuracy. The 18-inch barrel offers a perfect balance of maneuverability and ballistic performance. Massive aftermarket for parts and accessories. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, a standard but important legal step we handle smoothly.
Cons: The stock fit is personal—some find the Speedfeed comb height perfect, others prefer an adjustable stock. At 4+1, the capacity is standard but lower than extended-tube models (though easily upgraded). As a pump-action, it demands training to operate effectively under stress. The finish, while tough, can show wear over time—I call that character.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this shotgun fire 3-inch magnum shells?
A: Yes. The chamber is designed for both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge shells, giving you flexibility in ammunition choice from light target loads to heavy defensive magnums.
Q: Is the Speedfeed stock comfortable to shoot?
A: It’s subjective, but generally, yes. The synthetic material is durable and the shape is classic. The integrated shells don’t significantly impact cheek weld for most shooters. For extended range sessions, a padded recoil pad is a wise add-on.
Q: Are rifle sights on a shotgun really better than a bead?
A: For any shot requiring precision, especially with slugs beyond 25 yards, absolutely. They provide a familiar, repeatable sight picture that is faster to acquire for many shooters compared to lining up a single bead.
Look, the Remington 870 in its various forms has been defending homes, policing streets, and serving in military roles for decades. This specific 870P configuration with the Speedfeed stock and rifle sights is one of the most practical and ready-to-roll versions you can get. It’s a tool that inspires confidence because of its simplicity. If a dependable, straightforward 12-gauge shotgun is what you’re after, this model deserves your close consideration.
