No argument SwampCollie. I love the 1100 and there is nothing wrong with them. Heck I have 2. I shot trap fora few years and never used them for that. I have seen some mighty fine shooters using semi auto's. I sold a Pigion Grade 101 a couple years back for$1200. I know it's been a couple years ago but I'm certain you can still find a good deal on agood used "real"Skeet gun or Trap gun if your not in a hurry. I would still lean towards the over under though in something other than a field grade.
