Its innovative design by Wayne Leek introduced a self-compensating gas system that significantly reduced recoil, making the 12-gauge easier and more comfortable to fire. This model quickly gained popularity for its reliability and smooth action.
The blued finish of this shotgun enhances its aesthetic appeal while providing added corrosion resistance. The floral engravings on this model, a typical Remington 1100 floral flair seen on both sides of the receiver, are filled with a gold color, adding a touch of elegance. These details highlight the craftsmanship of Remington, marrying artistry with mechanical functionality.
As one of the first semi-automatic shotguns, the 4+1 capacity was quite substantial at the time of its release. Today, the Model 1100 remains a beloved choice for shooting competitions and hunting alike. This piece is a favorite amongst shotgun enthusiasts due to its proven reliability and versatility. With a comfortable 12 Gauge caliber, it provides substantial firepower in both hunting and sport shooting scenarios. The capacity of 4+1 makes it a desirable choice for continuous shooting without frequent reloading.
