mudpatten Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 The 1100 was the first of the modern gas operated semi`s and was very popular when it first appeared because it handled so nicely. The internal design of gas op. semi`s has moved on a bit since the early 1100`s who`s main fault is the gas seal O rings that give up the ghost when least convenient. Spares however, are cheap and readily available and replacing the rings is straightforward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0145wirbelwind Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 There not much wrong with an 1100 . They might be a little heavy by todays guns and sometimes a pain in the bum to clean but all said and dun, for the money you can't go wrong. I have two, one for shooting, One for spairs. The 2-3/4 will shoot any cartridge i put throw it from 67mm to 70mm 2-3/4 magnum( never tried a 21gr or 24gr)in it but any 28gr plus no problem. I use mine for field work and i am not really worried if it gets a mark or too( it would break my heart if i court my beretta 391 on a fence and marked it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
