There would also be a part interchangabilty issue.   how many parts would now no longer fit a 870?  10?  15?    I am not in the gun biz, but I know what it takes to run one, no way I would change it.  It would never make you any money.

Unless you got the mil contract for 1.5 million units (spaced over ten years of course).

It could get damned expensive if they ran into a copyright infringement with Mossberg who has been using the tang mounted safety for about 100 years.
So has every double barrel shot gun ever made for a lot longer than that. Its old tech.

1.5 million units is not alot actually    to supply something like that there would have to be a huge capital investment for machines/ space/ man power.    you make less per unit with gov contracts.       so you don't want to take away production to do it.

redesigning the safety to be reversible would be cheaper than having to redesign the entire trigger group to use a tang safety and easier to use with a pistol grip stock.

My old 870 Express has done me well over the years. I have added ghost rings and a youth stockto shorten the pull when I have armor. A side saddle for extra ammo and call it good.

Strider, try one of the AR style telescoping stocks .
That way it fits just as well with or without the armor.
Clothing is the issue up here, tee shirt in the summer, Arctic Parka in the winter .
I put a Knoxx stock on my Mossberg , I didn't care for the recoil reduction, but the adjustability was great.

Tom, Thanks for the suggestion. I did have an adjustable stock on it for a while but found the cheek weld a bit off for me. Plus, I am not a big fan of pistol grips on a scatter gun. Just a personal preference. If it works for you I say go for it!

They Benelli got the contract for it met the specifications that were set.  I would prefer a FN SLP made in SC instead however.  Each time I reach for a shotgun in a combat zone its a Rem 870 MCS usually with a 14" bbl.
