It\u2019s a legend. The gun introduced the concept of dual-action bars for greater reliability and an anti-binding action. Introduced in 1951, it has remained in continuous service. It\u2019s a natural choice for home defense. A 12-gauge shotgun provides a devastating close-quarters weapon for home defense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-why-the-870-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">Why The 870\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-important-addition-to-an-870-surefire-dsf\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">Important Addition to an 870 &#8211; Surefire DSF<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-best-stock-magpul-sga-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">The Best Stock &#8211; Magpul SGA\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-premium-ammo-for-the-870-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">Premium Ammo for the 870\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-extra-ammo-wilson-combat-2-magazine-extension-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">Extra Ammo &#8211; Wilson Combat +2 Magazine Extension\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-a-side-saddle-esstac-shotgun-card\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">A Side Saddle &#8211; ESSTAC Shotgun Card<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-right-barrel-carlson-s-rifle-sight-barrel-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">The Right Barrel &#8211; Carlson\u2018s Rifle Sight Barrel\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-else-does-the-870-need-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\" data-level=\"2\">What Else Does the 870 Need?\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s almost perfect, and with a few upgrades, we can take the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=remington%20870\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-ultimate-home-defense-870\" title=\"The Ultimate Home Defense 870\">Remington 870<\/a> to the next level.

They are extremely well-made and have been used for decades by military and police forces. Their popularity has also led to a large market for modularity, which allows you to tailor the gun to your needs. Several models of the 870 series come with various upgrades we suggest in this article.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-important-addition-to-an-870-surefire-dsf\">Important Addition to an 870 &#8211; Surefire DSF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you attach only one accessory to your home defense 870, make it the Surefire DSF. The DSF is a forend light that replaces your pump with a pump with a built-in weapon light. Putting lights on pump-action shotguns can be tough. You want to be able to activate or deactivate the light easily, and that\u2019s tough with a weapon that requires you to move a portion of the weapon to operate it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"Surefire DSF 870 light\" class=\"wp-image-207455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-weapon-light-scaled-e1727705883306-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A weapon light is a must-have for home defense. It allows you to tell friends from foe in the dark. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Surefire DSF provides you with an easy-to-use white light. It has ambidextrous controls that make it easy to activate and use while working on the weapon\u2019s action. The DSF series are professional-grade weapon lights that are tough as nails. The DSF series has two modes, one with 600 lumens and a second with 200 lumens. On high, 600 lumens blast 13,000 candela, which lights up a room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DSF uses a reflector that helps create peripheral vision-filling light. A white light like this makes it easy to identify a threat and tell a friend from a foe in a low-light defensive situation. A white light is mandatory on any home defense weapon, and the DSF is the best light available for the Remington 870.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-stock-magpul-sga-nbsp\">The Best Stock &#8211; Magpul SGA&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magpul kills it with just about everything it does. The SGA series of shotgun furniture sets a new standard. More than one company has taken the Magpul SGA route with their stock. The Magpul SGA stock blends the benefits of a standard stock with the benefits of a pistol grip stock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"Magpul sga stock 870\" class=\"wp-image-207454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-magpul-sga-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Magpul SGA stock allows you to adjust the length of pull, easily add slings, and provides a solid grip on the gun. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This includes enhanced one-handed control and the speed of a standard stock. The Magpul SGA design also allows you to use a series of spacers to adjust the length of pull. Most shotguns come with a length of pull that\u2019s too long, and the SGA allows you to quickly fix that. A shorter LOP ensures you can get behind the gun and square up with a threat. This improves control and recoil control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-premium-ammo-for-the-870-nbsp\">Premium Ammo for the 870&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For home defense purposes, you want a tight-patterning buckshot load. The tighter the pattern, the less likely you\u2019ll deal with an errant pellet not striking the target. A single buckshot pellet could harm a loved one or an innocent person. The Federal Flitecontrol load uses a specialized wad that keeps the shot together until it leaves the barrel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"shotgun buckshot\" class=\"wp-image-207448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/home-defense-870-buckshot-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flitecontrol is the best buckshot option on the market for home defense.

The pattern is so tight at home defense distances that it\u2019s roughly the size of a 50-cent piece at 15 yards. The Flitecontrol pellets are copper-plated and extremely consistent. The Flitecontrol load is inherently reliable and has very little recoil overall. It\u2019s the perfect home defense round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-extra-ammo-wilson-combat-2-magazine-extension-nbsp\">Extra Ammo &#8211; Wilson Combat +2 Magazine Extension&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remington 870s typically come with four-round tubes.
