I shoot at the Silver Dollar and have been looking for a non-Monte Carlo 1100 trap with chokes at something approaching a reasonable price. Because I am interested in one, I have noticed that few shoot registered with 1100s/870s or 11/87s, rather most of the shooters with those guns show up just for a round or two of practice from time to time and most of their guns are field models.
I shot all through the Dixie on a number of squads with shooters from "up north" and never saw a single 1100 or 870. I'm sure there were some there, but I missed seeing them. Lots and lots of Beretta autos, but no (or few) 1100s around.
Used to be a shooter from Canada who brought two 870s, one for singles, the other for 'caps, who shot them well, but he didn't come down this year. A couple of years ago, there was a young fellow shooting an 1100 (very well) with the highest rib I've ever seen (looked like a Moneymaker) but he hasn't been around lately, either.
One vender had an 11/87 and another had an 1100 field model for sale-that's all.
Really haven't been a lot on TS.com lately, either.
Several folks I know have them, but relegate them to their safe "in case" they want or need to shoot a soft-shooting gun in the future.
