You don't see too many 1100's like these

Nice!! I had no idea they had barrels that short or made for them.

That would ruin someone's day for sure. I grew up bird hunting guess I need to look into more applications for the multiple shotguns I have.

Wonder what my Wally-world 870 Express would fetch...bet its had 30 rounds thru it since I bought it in 2005.

Pretty sure that's just an 870 barrel. I may have to pick up an 18" barrel for mine.

Probably $200-$250. You can get then new for $299.

No love for the Mossberg 930 (SPX?). You may have to pony up another $100-150 but my SPX runs everything.

They look similar, but I never thought they'd be the same. Even if they physically interchange, though, an 1100 with an 870 barrel won't cycle. The 1100 has a gas port in the barrel that cycles the action, and an 870, not needing one, doesn't have one. That looks like an old fixed choke 1100 cut down. Many a poor(ish: that shit is expensive) man's three gun rig is built that way.

I've handled one the local sheriff carried when I put a mount in his car, it felt and pointed really good.

X2 they look similar but that's it.

You could score a Benelli Nova for about 400. I picked one up and it shoots great.

What type of barrel do you think he's got in that first pic? The second is easy to tell it's just a chopped down standard 1100 barrel.

If they're in good condition, they'll go anywhere between $500-$750 depending on the model 1100. The American Trapt version tends to pull more.

Huh, I'd have never thought that. I happen to have one of those sitting in my safe now. Great for shooting trap!

I've got a buddy who uses an 1100 for 3 gunnin'. He's no slower than anyone else, but I do have to say that reloading is a hell of a lot more difficult due to the damn button.

Either a slug barrel, or a cut down regular barrel. There may be some police spec barrels from older models that are shorter than the current 1100P. I think that thing is 22", and the barrel in the first pic isn't close. Maybe 20".

Think they make a 21" barrel for the 1100, I'll bet that's what it is. Either way, I need to look at picking one up. I definitely dig the look. Not sure if I'd go as far as adding a 2-3 round extension to the end of the tube or not.

That may be a barrel cut shorter, with a rifle front sight post added. A competent gunsmith can achieve that handily.

True, could easily be done with this barrel though...
