I have had no problems with the remigton 1100 20 ga. i started out with that gun when i started..was very light never had any problems...only thing i could think of was a small pebble(i dont know how teh hell this happened) was stuck inside the trigger mechanism on my very first opening day for pheasnt...two birds got up went to pull the trigegr and nothing...was my fault for not finding it...besides that no problems is a great gun...11-87 premier in 12 ga i ahve had no porblems with either...
