Frank 41 is 100% correct...it is a great trap gun under any circumstances. The 3 chokes which come with it are a really nice touch. If you want one gun for trap & sporting clays, this is it.
Bought an 1100 Classic Trap about a year ago. The fit and chokes fix a world of problems. I have had a little trouble with this Classic Trap involving the following: drop a shell into the receiver; hit the release button; action will jam the shell upward and not close; I pull the handle back aways and release and the action will insert the shell properly and close. It only seems to do this occasionally - if the shell is "too far forward" in the receiver when the action is closed. Anyone else have this problem? Meanwhile I shoot an 870 with a straight trap stock, an older 1100 trap or older 1100 field, or a recently acquired Remington 31 TC. Would really like to stick with the Classic Trap if I could solve the action problem. Like SuperX Jeff, I tried the Beretta 391s - Ford vs. Chevy - I thought they kicked too much and were overrated. 1100s all the way!
