Designed by
Wayne Leek [Harold Murtz. "Gun Digest Treasury" (DBI Books, 1994), p.193] , the Remington model 1100 was introduced in1963 as a successor to the Model 58 gas operated shotguns. The Model 58s had supplanted the recoil operated Model 11-48, which retained the long recoil action ofJohn Browning 's original design, present in the Remington Model 11 and the Auto-5. All models of the 1100 are gas operated [Instruction Book for:Models 1100, 11-87 & 11-87 Super magnum Autoloading Shotguns Models Which the 3.5 Super magnum came out in late august 07 as the new 08 models 1100, 11-87 & 11-87 Super magnum Autoloading Shotguns, Remington Arms Company, Form RD 7061 Rev. 205] , with a mechanism that noticeably reducesrecoil . [Murtz, "ibid."] . The 1100 is still in production as of 2008, and is the best selling selfloading shotgun in U.S. history. ["ibid."]Model Introduction

Uses in Trap and Skeet Shooting
When it was introduced in
1963 , the Remington 1100 was an immediate success with Skeet shooters in particular. Thegas-operated action of the model 1100 was particularly popular, as it reduced feltrecoil .The 1100 is also a popular Trap gun, special versions with high
ribs and Monte Carlo stocks are available. As with other semi automatic shotguns a shell catcher can be used to avoid spent shells hitting others on thesquad when shooting Trap.Because of the 1100's durability and ability to almost never jam, its receiver has been placed on the 1100 TAC-4 (tactical) model. This receiver and barrel are made of thicker, heavier steel to accommodate rapid succession of fire and cooling.
