04/23/2008 | I have had one for twenty five years, I like the gun but just to heavy to carry around the field, I switched to a Winchester Super x2 light field now and am much better off!

11/17/2007 | I bought an 1100 last month. I had shot my grandfather's 16 ga. for years and loved it. The 1100 I bought is 36 years old! It had never had a shot fired through it! My best friend's dad bought it, took it out one time, never fired it, and put it on the wall for 24 years. For the past 11 years it was in the attic attracting fiberglass insulation! I disassembled it, cleaned it real well, fire three rounds in it to make sure it would work, then I took it out to shoot a the local gun club. 175 rounds later, I am in love with my 1971 12ga. 1100!

05/05/2007 | I hate to write a bad review about a remington since I grew up owning remingtons but I purchased a new model 1100 G3 20 gauge just recently. I bought one of the guns that was in the box not a display model. I also own a remington model 1187 12 gauge that my wife gave me for christmas. When I got home I was showing a friend how easy it was to take the gun apart and unfortunately I found rust inside the reciever on the trigger group and on the carrier that holds the bolt. I then took my 1187 apart and found just a little rust on the carrier that holds the bolt. I bought the two guns from two different dealers and the same problem. Remington needs to have better quality control!! Well I got my money back on the 1100 but I kept my 1187 because I actually like the gun and how it works. Unfortunately I will not buy another remington which is too bad because I like to support american arms makers. I ended up buying a Beretta 391 Urika 2 XTRA grain 20 gauge and I love it.

12/24/2006 | This is the standard for all other auto loaders. This is a forty year old design that continues to be one of the best to date. People complain that is heavy. The truth is it is only slightly heavier than all of the other autos and because of the extra heft, recoil is less than the competition. A little known fact is that for every 10% heavier a 12 guage shotgun is, there is 20% less recoil. Since I use mine primarily for sporting clays and shoot 100 rounds in a day, this is a plus. I have also heard that the gas design is outdated. I love this design simply because of it's reliability and ease of disassembly and cleaning. This last complaint I have heard is it only shoots 2 3/4" shells. This is true of the older 1100's, but the modern G3 1100 will shoot 3" without adjustment. All in all, this is still one of the best autoloaders money can buy.

12/12/2006 | Its been a standard for decades. It will jam from time to time if not frequently oiled and cleaned. It is heavier than a lot of its rivals.

11/01/2006 | I have the 1100 with the synthetic black stock and matte finished metal. Mine has been modified for IPSC shooting with a 10 round tube. The gun is great as far as shooting, flawless operation, accurate, easy to use and easy to clean. Definitely a good gun for the modest price. My main, and only complaint about this gun is it's heavy. I wouldn't want to lug this thing around all day hunting pheasant or rabbit. The weight would really get to you. Other than the weight, I can't knock this gun.

04/30/2006 | I bought a 20 gauge 1100 for my daughter this past year. It has composite stocks and matte blued finish. The gun came with three chokes and was flawless when we received it. The gun is gas operated and has never jammed. It is a dream to shoot with virtually no recoil. The gun breaks down with ease for cleaning, which is a must for gas operated shotguns. Overall this gun is a great buy that will serve my daughter well for the rest of her life.
