He went on and said something about the 870P also having some type of certification that is needed when used at a 'tactical' type range. Of course most of this does not concern me at the present time as the primary use for this gun is to hunt turkeys and shoot skeet/trap. |
Gun shop BS expert is more like it. The 870P is not need to do 3-gun, most guys do their own modifications to meet 3 gun requirements right off of the base 870. Look around at a few 3 gun websites/comps and you can get an idea of what kind of shotgun set ups guys are running. I am unaware of any certification needed to use a shotgun at a tactical course. Most places that offer tactical shotgun courses have recommendations/suggestions of what to bring like number of rounds, equipment, etc. Of course Canada might have this certification requirement but I am leaning towards the unlikely.

I still think it would be a good idea to have the Express parkerized and plan to do so. I am fortunate enough to have a gunsmith who is the Canadian distributer of Vang Comp not far from my house and have spoken with him - hell of a nice guy. My next question is, should I have it parkerized or for an extra $50.00 parkerized with Teflon or KG Gun-Kote? Comments?

Whats wrong with the finish the weapon has on it? If you want to parkerize it because you like the look, then go for it. Dura coat or Gun kote is not that hard to apply and if you have an air compressor you can buy a small starter kit for a few bucks and do your coating yourself, it's really not that hard. Brownells sells Gun-kote and you can order Duracoat direct from duracoat if no one carries it in your neck of the woods.
