I am looking to purchase a 12ga shotgun in auto configuration. Remington's fit my build very well, right off the rack.

I know that the 1100 and the 11-87 are both gas-operated recoil formats.

I presently shoot an 1100 20ga and find the gun a smooth shooter.

My problem: should I stick with an 1100 in 12ga or get the 11-87 in 12ga.

Firing exactly equal loads, which Remington format has less felt recoil?
