I've had a 20ga Remington 1100 Special Field w/21" fixed choke bbl, and can say that is WAS "special".
Since I've never ran across another, I currently have a 20ga Franchi AL-48 Deluxe w/26" Mobilechoked bbl , and can say that it's just as handy as the Remington 1100, but much thinner & lighter (no gas system).
Call it Rock/Hard Place.
