1100 vs 1187
which one is supposed to be their better model?

RE: 1100 vs 1187
have both, never any problems with either.
11-87 I believe is just their newer lineup, not sure much was changed.... |
RE: 1100 vs 1187
The newer 1100 is called the 1100 G3. It is very much like an 11-87. In fact you can mount some 11-87 barrels on the 1100 G3, but you cannot mount old 1100 barrels on the G3. Both are good gun.

I have the 1100 20 gauge LT. Looks great, cycles flawlessly

RE: 1100 vs 1187
I think the 11-87 is a little more robust then the 1100. Many 1100 12 gauges only take 2 3/4 shells, although that might not be the case with the newer models. Can't go wrong either way though

11-87 is more spendy.
I had a 1100 20ga, that wasa FAST little bird gun and pretty cheap. but if you go semi I would go with a 1100 or with the money you spend on a 11-87 just buy a super blackhawk. |

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. The 1187 is a "Working Machine", and was also sold as a "Special Purpose", meaning it could be ordered set up with a rifled sight slug barrel / scope mounts, or for turkey hunting. Both of these fine firearms deserve a place in every man's gun safe. I also own a Benelli SBE II, and its a great gun too, but pricey, and has a couple flaws my Remington's don't.I'd hate to pit all three against one another, it would be interesting to say the least.

RE: 1100 vs 1187
1100 is older model that was made primarily in the 2-3/4 inch chamber, aftermarket bbls are made for it if you want slug shooting or screw in chokes. They also had a 3 inch model but not nearly as popular, was only supposed to shoot 3" out of it..
11-87 is the newer design, many bbl options and many are 3" that can shoot 3 or 2-3/4.. Newest is the 1100 G3, it's an 1100 chambered in 3". All very nice.. Love my 11-87 slug gun and my 11-87 turkey gun but I tell ya I wouldn't trade my 1100's for nothing else comparable.. Just super nice guns.. What are you wanting it for? |

RE: 1100 vs 1187
There is a minor difference in the gas system...you have 2 vent holes in the barrel as opposed to one on the 1100 and some other minor differences. The 11-87 is capable of shooting 3 1/2 " shells and is a little bit heavier.

My 11-87 has checkered high gloss stock and nice bluing. |
