The Remington 1100 has been around for ages, it is a wonderful gun that has taken its share of game. It has a nicer appeal due to its blueing and wood. The 1100 is truly a beautiful gun, and is a work horse also, but the 1187 was geared more towards a no-nonsense "working gun", so the metal parts were not blued, and the wood was left pretty plain.
I've never heard this. My 11-87 is blued and has a very nice piece of wood on it...
My 11-87 LC Premier is far from plain and unblued. In fact they tend to be a much nicer finish than the bulk of 1100s.
