My dad has a 1100 nice gun that gun has broke many skeet in its day. I borrowed it a few months ago to shoot some skeet with some guys I work with for a $50 gift card provided by my boss. I won that was great since I have not shot skeet in a few years. Any shotgun with 00 buck is a great defense tool. Hard to beat the sound of a pump having a round racked into the chamber. I do not think there is a person out there that dose not know what that sound is.
