Thanks guys for all the good advise it makes a lot of sense. I forgot to mention that I shoot lefty. Right now I'm shooting a LH Rem 1100 that my dad bought me when I was a preteen, that's over 25 years now. I've killed a lot of birds with it, but it's getting sloppy and worn. Can the Brownings have the safety switched without a big deal? Please forgive my ignorance here, but what is the term for the lever for the break? Can it be switched too? Thanks for all your help!
