Is there really any difference between the two, other than the 1187 will shoot a 3” shell? Hard to beat either one IMHO. I am a Beretta guy, so for me, shotguns begin and end with the 390. A buddy has an A300, which has performed well the last few years dove and duck hunting. I also have a V3, which is a very soft shooter, but unfortunately patterns to the left. If you have your heart set on an 1187, then get one and don’t look back. I’m sure it will serve you well.
