The TacStar forend grip is a direct-fit tactical handguard built for the 12 gauge Remington 870, and it does exactly what a good aftermarket forend should: it gives you a firmer, more controlled hold on a gun that likes to buck. Instead of the standard smooth pump handle, you get a vertical grip shape with finger grooves and a pebbled texture, so your support hand locks in and stays put through fast follow-up shots. The width, rearward angle, and back swell are all shaped to push recoil energy into both hands rather than letting it hammer one point, which translates to quicker recovery and better muzzle control between rounds.
The 870 is a workhorse, but a bare pump handle isn't doing your grip any favors, especially with heavier defensive or 3-inch loads. Folks running short-barreled 870 setups and TAC-14 style guns often reach for this grip specifically to fight the notorious muzzle rise on those platforms. It's a common upgrade for home-defense builds and range guns where you want a more aggressive, positive hold without going all-in on a full pistol-grip stock conversion.
This TacStar grip is injection-molded from high-impact ABS polymer, so it shrugs off the knocks and weather that come with real use while keeping things light. At roughly 8.55 inches long, it fills the hand nicely and looks the part on a tactical-minded 870. It's a 12 gauge only part, made in the USA, and carries the black finish that blends right in with most factory 870 furniture.
Because this grip ships with the action bars and all the necessary hardware, no gunsmithing or permanent alterations are required. The basic process is to clear the gun, pull the barrel, remove the bolt and old forend, then swap in the new grip and reassemble. A T-wrench for the forend nut is part of the kit, though a strap wrench can help if your factory forend nut is on there tight. Take your time with the shell stops during disassembly and the job is well within reach for anyone comfortable breaking down their 870.
Yes, this grip is designed specifically for the 12 gauge Remington 870 platform and includes the action bars needed for the swap. It is a 12 gauge only part, so it won't work on 20 gauge or other gauges. It's a popular pick for standard 870s as well as short-barreled and TAC-14 style setups.
No gunsmithing or permanent modifications are required. The kit comes with the action bars, a T-wrench, and all necessary hardware, and installation follows the normal 870 field-strip process of removing the barrel, bolt, and old forend before swapping in the new grip. If you're comfortable breaking down your 870, you can handle this yourself. A strap wrench can help if your factory forend nut is stubborn.
The grip is shaped with a specific width, rearward angle, and back swell that spread recoil energy across both hands instead of concentrating it. Combined with the finger grooves and pebble texture, that gives you a more secure hold and faster recovery between shots. Users running heavy defensive loads and short-barreled 870s frequently mention improved control and reduced muzzle rise.
It's injection-molded from high-impact ABS polymer, which keeps it light while standing up to hard use and weather. The finish is black to match most factory 870 furniture, and the whole unit is made in the USA.
