I clean my 1100 out after 200rds or after i take it duck hunting in wet areas.
Well see...this was the problem for me...since I noticed that this was about the frequency with which I had to clean my 1100 to make it run efficiently.
I only clean my Benellis after about 600 rounds or so...and it's 3 times as fast (and easy) to clean...so, let's see...I get 3 times as many rounds through it between cleanings and it's 3 times easier to clean...that makes the Benelli 9 times better!!
Just a joke...but seriously, I like the Benelli better.
