I've run Rem 1100's in the hunting fields for decades, and have only had one problem............forgot one was oiled on the magtube a bit much for storage and used some promo dove loads (dirty crap) that gummed it up when it got screamin' hot (was in the upper 90's that day). Normally I was using a Magnum 1100 with a single gas port and low brass trap loads. Disassembly and a quick wipe of my T shirt and it ran fine ( T shirt looked pretty nasty, camo with a black stripe across it
My preferred trap gun was my 1100 magnum................flawless with just Remoil wiped off with a paper towel.
I ran two 1100's quite a bit, but have had maybe 6 or 7 others, no problems.
In fact, my HD rigs are an 1100 magnum and an 870 Supermagnum.
And no, I don't subscribe to the silly notion that a pump offers some auditory deterrent. Why would I not have a round ready to go if a threat was near? Wouldn't it be better to know you have a round ready to go and offer some verbal warning (if wanting to give such)?
