Have to agree with CaCrusin & Hekkenschutze. The 870 Express isn't as smooth & pretty as a Wingmaster... but fragile? In my experience they're plenty tough. We have several as "loaner" guns at our local gun club (skeet, trap, sporting clays). Never a waver, hiccup or problem through tens of 1000s of rounds. I dare say with the number of "shucks" these guns have endured, they're as smooth to cycle as most Wingmasters. If the gun is resting muzzle-up in the rack & you trip the slide release, the bolt will slide back to fully-retracted with only the force of gravity pulling on it. That's pretty smooth.
