308 AR and wondering why they don't function reliably. It's that 3 gun competitions allow the use of completely unrealistic ammunition that combat shotguns were never designed or intended to function reliably with. The real problem IMO isn't that these tactical combat shotguns won't function with 1oz light loads. No matter if it's recoil or intertia operated or gas/recoil or gas operated if the gun functions with super light loads it's going to take more wear/tear when it fires heavy loads so certainly for a tactical gun that's designed to at least fire 2 3/4' heavy loads as it's standard load making it function with super soft trap loads isn't really a priority and counter productive to the weapons long term durability for it's intended purpose.Īs to the OP if your friends 11-87 won't function with anything short of a 3' magnum, if it won't run with 2 3/4' magnum loads or even heavy 1 1/4oz field loads it has a problem, send it back or get it to a smith. My home defense loads certainly would not be light 1oz loads, unless it's a 1oz rifled slug and that won't be a light charge load. I'm pretty sure the military/law enforcement is not shooing any super light 1oz loads. The Remington 1100 worked flawlessly for me.Īt some point one also has to consider the purpose of these guns. Maybe you should do that for peace of mind. I sold mine and got into the Benelli game later. The originals were black, and now the grey of mine show where the crud is to clean.

I did remove both the gas pistons and have them chrome plated. This time I got a realabe cycling Benelli that I can have a light on and side saddle, and it shoot heavy loads and sometimes shoot the slightly less heavy, but nothing light. There was talk about the military taking it on, and that it had self cleaning, dual gas pistons, so I chanced it. So, I gave up on Benelli's and got the reliable 8, which cycled flawlessly. My cousin's on the other hand shot everything.

I pasted my question up, many years ago and was told to put my shoulder into it, take off the side saddle and light,, shoot 500 full power rounds, etc, but it still wouldn't shoot. Nothing even the slightest less than full power would cycle. And I had a Benelli that would shoot nothing but full power loads. I bought the Benelli M1, after I heard of all the great talk.
