[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1276902, member: 711"] What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you plan to use heavy loads, do not get the 1100. Get the 1187. You can get an 1100 that will take heavy 3 inch ammo, and will shoot heavy 2 3/4 inch ammo, but it won't cycle light loads. If you shoot heavy loads in a regular 1100, it'll break. I have seen it happen. The 1187 meters the gas and works fine with both. As to "experts" and "Bass Pro," you may not realize that these concepts are fundamentally contradictory, mutually exclusive, etc. You might be able to find two shotguns, one for light ammo and one for mag loads, about as inexpensively as one "do-all" weapon. Also, unless there is a physical reason you can't use a pump, that's where you need to be looking for an affordable all around shotgun. They are more reliable than autos, and some of them can be cycled faster than most autos will cycle. CB [/QUOTE]
