Im interested in getting an 1187, 18 inch barrel, rifle sights for home defense, preferably a police model. I was at the gunshop today and found a new 1187 "Special Purpose", 18 inch barrel with rifle sights. It looks just like the police model. The price was $350.
Is this a good buy? Have any of you heard of this gun? I'm wondering why it is so much cheaper than the 1187P. Im thinking that maybe it is like the "870 express" version with cheaper parts?

Hellz yeah that's a great deal! Jump on it for $350. I bought the same kind of 11-87 last year for alot more than that. The only difference between it and the Police 11-87 are the same as the differences between 870 Express and 870 Police. Fit, finish, composite trigger. However, the loading gate catch on the 11-87 SP is like the standard 11-87. The Police 11-87's have a longer catch, which helps to speed up loading the mag tube. I've tracked down the part to upgrade my 11-87's trigger assembly including the dog carrier and extended loading gate. It was about $130. Haven't bought one yet though.
