If you have a Remington 3" and you want to shoot light shells, I think you can put a 2 3/4 barrel on it. Then it will shoot light shells. I think! I think that is true for 1100s. I know the non-magnum barrels have 2 gas ports and the magnums only have 1.

The one exception I know of, was the 3 inch magnum Remington 1100. The shorter shells wouldn't cycle the action correctly. That has little to do with the shell length, and FWIW I shoot 2 3/4" load through my 1100 magnum all the time. They cycle fine if they are heavier loads. Beat me to it.. The high-base 12 ga stuff in 2 3/4" hulls will work just fine.. Yea, my 1100 will not cycle low brass trap loads. However, a high brass 2 3/4" will. It's got to be high brass. The other thing is that you have to keep the outside of the magazine clean with a good or new o-ring.

My 1100 mag will cycle 2 3/4" 3 dram 1 1/8 oz loads fine keep it clean, chamber, rings, gas port lube with Hoppes gun oil. Use a drill bit same size as gas port to clean it. Make sure the recoil spring and housing in the butt are clean and lubed. MB
