Bead site for me too. Ugh. I have contacted SOS to arrange for return and I am waiting for a response.
Mightve run out of rifle sights and hoped people would be ok with beads. That's crappy
If the price difference was substantial I'd keep the bead. But the rifle sights are preferable.On Reddit they said they are aware of the issue and are working with people to make it right. Not sure if it’s less brain damage to return it or just take a partial refund.

Let me know the net price on the bead gun. If it's in budget I'll snag it from you. Not to purposeful cut Brian out of a free but it'd save youI got a call from one of the high up marketing guys from SOS. He apologized and explained the situation. They got in two distinct batches of 11-87s from two different departments at the same time under the same product number which caused a mix up in the warehouse. They only had 10 of the rifle sight guns, and 50 or so of the beads.
He offered to let me return it for a full refund or keep it and take a partial refund. I opted for the partial refund just to be done with it. I figured that would be easier than making my FFL deal with the hassle of actually sending it back. I’ll probably immediately consign depending on how it grabs me when I see it. Maybe I’ll clean it up and fondle it for a few weeks before selling.
I would have rather just got the rifle sight gun but unfortunately that isn’t an option.

This makes the bold assumption you don't hate me and are interested in such a potential arrangement. If not then feel free to tell me to go blow
Lol all those years laterOh and I mentioned on my chat with him that I can’t be too mad at SOS over this considering they sent me two nice Ohio National Guard Wingmasters. He said the owners of the company are still kicking themselves over the pricing that those guns went out at. I don’t blame them…
I read yours posts and looked at the photos. These shotguns appear to be the 100+ Toledo Police Remington 11-87's that were traded in. I can give you a little more information about them. I served with Toledo for 33 years. I was there when we received these. The year was 1995. They were a great improvement over the 870's that they replaced. They had bead sights and cloth shotgun shell holders on the stock. From 1995-2023, these shotguns were issued on average of three times per day. At the beginning of each shift, the shotgun was loaded and placed in the rack or trunk of the vehicles. At the end of each shift, the guns were unloaded via the bottom loading port and returned to the desk sergeant who inspected them. The shotguns never failed to fire when needed. Each officer qualified each year with the Remington 11-87. If the shotgun has a sticker that says SP on it; then that shotgun was assigned to the Scott Park Precinct. Prior to that, the shotguns had three digit stickers that denoted the unit number that it was assigned to. If memory serves correctly, the yellow stickers denoted shotguns assigned to the range. I have a mint 11-87 that I purchased back in the 90's.
