Or a Beretta A400, or a Winchester SX4, or the Remington Versa Max. All of them over an 1100. Especially a well broken in 1100. Shoot them a lot and you will understand.

The SX4 is better than all of them, but unlikely to become as popular as Beretta or Benelli.

If you have to shoot Rem, then the VersaMax beats the 1100 for reliability and maintenance. Like a rented mule as Mike Lang would say.

Remington came out with the VersaMax for a reason; it wasn’t because the 1100 still ruled the semi auto world. However, the Versa is a pig, and Remington has been left behind in the semi auto market for so long, even the Versa doesn’t look like it can bring them back. And it is a good semi-auto.

Should have stayed with the 870, or a 12 or 37.

The 1100 has been sucking hind tit in the reliable, low maintenance semi-auto offerings for at least 2 decades, but best of luck.
