From what I've read, the internal parts are coated for smoother function, and with the Sporting and Competition variants, the gun is intended to function with lighter loads.
The 1100 Competition looks like a nice gun, but in that price range I'd also look into the 105 CTi II; every bit as soft shooting (if not more so), and dumps the empties at your feet. The only catch is that the 105 is meant for heavier loads; the lightest one recommended is about a 3 dram 1 1/8 oz. load. As soon as mine is broken in, though, I intend to try out a box of 1 oz. loads for kicks.
