Killed a limit of Greenheads today with a 935.  Used it for 2 years now, no complaints.  It just shoots.  As for the 870 and 11-87, I have a friend that likes his 11-87.  I don't have one so have no personal comment.  The 870 is a tried and true gun.

If youre going with a semiauto go with the 935... The 1187 has had some problems but the 935 is a solid gun as far as Ive heard. For a pump gun you reallly cannot beat an 870

I shoot a 935, and keep an 835 for a backup. If your hunting only fowl they are great guns. The older 870's are great guns but the new ones not so much.

I have owned several 870's and recently bought a 3.5" 870 that will not cycle correctly. Winchester sx3 will be my next gun.

if i had to choose one of those i would choose the 870. if your looking for a good pump gun and want the best out there get the browning bps 3.5 in mossy oak duck blind i shoot that and it cycles all the shells ive put through it winchester, kent, fiocchi, remington, federal. i like the gun alot and have had no problems with it yet.

The Express and Wingmaster/special purpose, etc. are different guns. Do not judge a Wingmaster by use of an Express.

I know it's not the question asked but my 835 is a pain in the arse to clean....way too many parts to put back into place...no experience with the remington's or the 935...something to consider though..

I shot a 835 for years and wanted a semi auto and the 935 used the same choke tubes I already had. I have had it for 3 years now an no problems. But like any semi you need to clean it some what after each hunt. I have only taken it all the way apart at the end of the season for a good cleaning.And like I said no problems. So in my opion it is a good gun.

Pick up a new 870 with synthetic stock.  Then buy a can of Krylon camo spray paint.  Let it have it and you will have a good duck gun.   ;)
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
