From those that are voting for the 1100... You keep mentioning the strict cleaning regiment to keep it running but act like it's a good thing. Is there something about the gun that makes it better than the others that completely outweighs the need to constantly maintain it
My 1100s and 11-87s need nor receive any more cleaning than any other semi-autos. Frankly, I keep all of my firearms clean, because guns are expensive, and dear old Dad taught me to take care of expensive things.
That said, the 1100 has noticeably less felt recoil than some of the other guns in this poll, and the steel receiver makes for better balance and pointability IMHO. As mentioned, there is a reason you seen so many 1100s on the clay fields.
