While I love my 1100 the 2nd bankruptcy since 2018 might make think twice before buying anything from them.   But I’m no banker.  

I’d buy mine again.    That’s how happy I am with it

Remington is going down the tubes. Sad really. Bennelli or a Franchi, or a Berretta if you want a gas gun.

Wish you was closer, though I really don't know what my 11-87 is worth.

Just buy a SBE3, and get on with it. Mine has performed perfectly with light loads from day 1. 

I have an M-1 super 90.  It's probably 20 years old now if not more.  It has never failed me.  Bought it to replace an 11-87 with intermittent problems that Remington could not cure after two tries.  I've always liked Remington shotguns, but that one's hiccups just made me get a different brand for duck hunting.  Can't go wrong with a Benelli if you ask me.

On a cold morning in the duck blind...Remington 1100 = automatic single shot.

My dad had one and I don't remember it giving him any trouble, but I do hear that gripe occasionally.

1100s were notorious for turning into single shots if dirty, or not properly lubed etc.  Many competition shooters used to spray the tube down with.lubricant before a mat h and run them wet.  I had a little 100 special field that was great until I quit cleaning it, then a quick cleaning and good again.

Had a Remington 1100, it was a fine gun. First shotgun I ever bought around 1982. Gotta keep em clean, and have a couple extra o-rings just in case.

I have always been partial to the Winchesters.  My first was a 1400 20 gauge and it run like a champ with any 2 3/4 loads.  That was all it would  chamber.  I had a few others and bought a Super X2 that handles all well from 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 loads.  Pretty clean running gas system and it runs dry.

My buddy watched my gun for years.  He went from an 1100 to a Beretta.  The Beretta would freeze up in the blind while mine kept chuggin.  Ended up with a Super X3 and never had any issues.

When I really want to shoot and take a little pain, I have my Russian Baikail 12ga Over and Under Skeet with Modified Improved Briley choke tubes.  Took 3 mallards with 2 shots one day, best shot ever.  Killed a few turkeys too.
