"ALL" is a pretty encompassing term and it leads me to doubt your claim. It's sure not consistent with what I'm hearing from people who hunt down there, not having been myself.

Don't get me wrong, I have several 1100's and have used them for many years. If one doesn't mind some fixing and a few parts here and there, 1100's are nice, easy shooting guns. I once had an 11-87, but sold it. It handled like a club and was before they came out with the lighter, 1100 wt. barrels. I have a Benelli M2 and like it a lot.

The new Beretta 400 Xplor sure looks good and handles nice. I would love to have one. Almost traded for one last year, just didn't quite get it done. Does anyone have experience with this gun?
