I have been teaching unarmed self defense for nearly 30 years now. And as a combat vetreran firearms as wellfor almost as long. People come from all over the planet to train in my methods for two decades plus.The Iiareli’s have even adopted my training methods.
I have been using the Mossberg 500 for years in one module of my courses. After a few decades they wore out. and I replaced them with the 870 after after my Massad and US piolice, DEA students and other recommended them so highly.
But having bought them they jam so much ,. all failures to eject, that is shells hanging up in the breech, that I am ready to shitcan them all. I am totally amszed at this too.
Can you please give me any explanation for this failute, is ther any known remedy?
I am going back to to the Mossberg 500 because pepole’s lives depend on my training and instruction. I just can’t understand what is happening here. Why are all my 870′s failing like trhis so consistently?
