All Remington has done is to return the 870 to close to its original quality of manufacture (but not quite all the way - the original used no cast parts in the action - everything was machined) for the police market, who apparently don't like the cheapened version foisted upon sportsmen.
Yes, the "express ment that it was a EXPRESS to manufacture, so CHEAPER!"

Sad thing is is that the plastic trigger housing is claimed to be stronger.

My old 870 express had aboult 1k worth of shot down it. nothing failed
