Hey everybody. I've been looking at auto loaders for quite a while now and still don't know what to get. What are your suggestions? I would like it to be under $1000, reliable, and I'd like to buy a new one. The only guns that have really caught my eye is the 1100/1187 shotguns. I like the 1187 because of its capability to use 3" shells but I always find mixed reviews on it. I like the 1100 cause I've used one before, it fits me nice, and they fit my criteria. However, the 1100 will not shoot 3" shells so if I bought one I would probably get one of the steel shot barrels for it. I will use this gun for waterfowl and trap mostly. Thanks and please reply with as much info as possible.
