The Remington 1100 12-Gauge Shotgun with a 26-inch barrel is a legendary, gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun first introduced in 1963. It revolutionized the firearm industry by proving that a reliable semi-automatic could deliver exceptionally soft, manageable recoil. In a 12-gauge configuration with a 26-inch barrel, this firearm is a fast-handling, beautifully balanced tool optimized for skeet shooting, sporting clays, and upland bird hunting (such as quail, grouse, and pheasant).
