I have a question about what kind of shell catcher works with this gun.The action doesn't open up at all.I've used different type of shells and tried moving the catcher.The one I bought has both 1100/1187 on the package.This gun has a different type of gas system at least that's what I've been told.

If the action doesn’t open up at all then there is something wrong with the gun. Even though you have a synthetic stock the receiver is the same as other 1100s and the “clip on” shell catcher should work. There is also a shell catcher made by Birchwood Casy that you can use on your gun it is called a Save-it shell catcher. I use one on my Benelli Super Black Eagle 2 and it works great.

I put a link to it above.

T&S Shell Catcher is what you need, However, it only works for singles and handicap trap, not doubles.

As for your cycling problem, what model is on the receiver, what barrel is installed, and what shells are you using?

I have 2 Comp's and the bolt/ops handle is a bit different. The handle is lower to the receiver opening and that causes friction on the top of the T&S shell catcher.

I just take my pocket knife and scrape some plastic off so that the bottom of the ops handle will clear the catcher.

Find someone who has one of the older all metal T&S catchers. They were a little shorter than the newer plastic ones. May be just what the doctor ordered. The newer plastic ones rub the bolt on my older 1100 trap.
