Congratulations, Cpl Nobbs, your wife has a very nice 11-87! Don't let the DU gun spoil you for 'regular' shotguns. Yesterday, I made a comment about Remmy 1100s that applies to your (her) custom shop 11-87 as well...

I call my unaltered R-1100 Trap model my clickity-clack gun because there's so much going on between shots. I've been fortunate to have fired D-grade, custom-shop, comp guns, and they're quite different: Quick, smooth and solid feeling. As my R-1100 cycles, part of me isn't totally confident that it's going to fire the next shot -- not a strong point in a target gun. With a high grade R-1100, it's a different experience -- not something available to those on a $1000 budget.
