Talk:Remington 1100
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The line on side ejection is utter nonsense. Every shotgun that isn't a break open sort is a side ejection model. Beyond that, the 1100 is a shotgun widely used in trap shooting. Beyond that, if it were a problem on the trap range, it would be an even greater problem when hunting. Having shot trap for over 30 years- almost all of it with an 1100, this is the first I've EVER heard that.
- Note on the above: There are several shotguns that are not side ejection models. One that comes to mind immediately is the Ithaca 37, which both loads and ejects from the bottom. This makes it completely ambidextrous in use.
I've seen several bottom-ejects, mostly pumps, but the new CTi from Remington happens to bottom eject.
- Don't your ejected shells bother the shooter on your right? Also, the newest semi-auto Remington, the 105CTi, ejects downward. So does the Beretta break-open semi-auto, the UGB25. The Remington literature describes this feature advantage as, "... there’s no peripheral distraction from ejecting shells." The Beretta literature describes this as, "The ejector expels the spent hull downwards, away from the shooter and nearby competitors, ... ".
I've seen bolt action shotguns before.
- Note on Trivia: the previous claim of the Remington 1100 being Ash Williams' shotgun of choice was false. Ash used a and I quote: "twelve gauge double barreled Remington." He says this quite clearly in his famous Boomstick speech.
