Hate to hear you had such bad luck with your 390, I've had mine for 6 years with thousands of rounds through it and 0 issues. The only time I can even remember having a jam I was shooting some rounds I got for free that had been laying under the bottom shelf at academy for who knows how many years.

Not a whole lot but they do some, you are correct and not very fun without a decent recoil pad.
It's been a long time since I've tore down a 1187 but do they use the same gas ring setup an 1100 does? I've fixed a few cause the rings were wrong and the gun wouldn't cycle."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"

Range Report....
Went through a case of bird shot and all I can say is -damn this is a fine firearm. I was wearing a thick jacket, but I seriously do feel like the SX3 reduces a large amount of felt recoil compared to pump and even the 390.
The gun is so light that I can support the entire firearm with my firing hand while using my free hand to operate the clay throwers. After 250 shots, no fatigue whatsoever... Just had to get used to how quick the gun tracks across the sky.
Some people complain about cleaning this gun, and I have no idea why... it is actually a treat to take this thing apart. Very easy, even the trigger assembly drops out without complaints.... I switched the safety over for a lefty.

The 1100 if memory serves me correct (been around 10 years since mines been apart) have an O-ring then the gas piston seal then of course the piston itself. A lot of the ones I fixed the piston seal was upside down or the O-ring stretched."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"
