I was wondering if some has ever relocated the safety on the 870?
it seems to be in a bad spot
I believe a more forward position would work much better

It can not be done. It is designed that way. It is in a perfect spot as the second joint of your finger can disengage it as you go to the trigger if you choose.JD McGuire, Owner

No one is talking about a Mossberg. The OP's question is about a Remington 870. Nor should anyone make any such claim about the Mossberg safety being in the perfect spot as it limits your ability to use some of the best stocks out there, so it is the worst spot if you want a SF IV-S, SF IV, SF III, Mesa Tactical, SpecOps and other stocks prefered on Tactical Shotguns. It also requires you to disengage it with your thumb so you are having to to two moves with two differetn parts of you hand.
The Remington safety location on the other hand can be disengaged as you go to the trigger all in one move, with the same finger so it is where it belongs on a fighting shotgun. One action is better then two actions when responding to a threat.
You do not have to take your finger to the safety, press it then relocate your finger to the trigger. As you go to the trigger the meat of the second joint of your trigger finger disengages the safety. All one smooth move with one finger. Practice that and you will realize that the location is perfect for a fighting shotgun. You will also find this technique works better with the Wilson Combat Oversized Safety but will work with the factory safety.Last edited by aippi; 10-23-2010, 6:59 PM.JD McGuire, Owner
