There's two large groups of 11-87 owners and ex owners. One thinks they're the best thing since indoor plumbing, the other claims no worse auto shotgun was ever made.

QC seems to be very hit or miss in Ilion these days. Since "Serious" shotguns HAVE to be absolutely reliable, I suggest giving these a pass and getting something else.

The older 1100s had their idiosyncracies, but are the better choice, IMO. Also, if I HAD to go to an auto shotgun for "Serious" use and some sporting apps, I'd take a good close look at the new X2 Practical. Heard very little bad about any of the X2s.

HTH....
