Description:
Introduced in 1963, the 1100 could be called the first truly modern shotgun, as it was designed with the aid of computers and mass-produced with common and stamped parts. There had been gas-operated semiautos before the 1100, but none that worked as reliably. Its soft recoil, combined with a stock that fit a wide range of shooters, made it an immediate hit with target shooters and hunters. It became an instant success and remained a state-of-the-art gas gun until the introduction of the 11-87 (DU’s 1998–99 and 2006–07 Guns of the Year), which is essentially the same gun with a metered gas valve that allows it to shoot 2 3/4- and 3-inch shells without adjustment.
