The Remington Model 1100 Competition is a gas-operated 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun built around the competition-proven 1100 platform. The 30-inch Pro Bore barrel, nickel receiver, and twin bead sights make it an obvious choice for trap and skeet, and the gas system's recoil reduction holds up over hundreds of rounds.

Detailed Features 

 
The vent rib Pro Bore barrel at 30 inches gives you a longer sight plane and a slightly more open muzzle, both of which help with target acquisition on clay targets. The nickel receiver finish is more than cosmetic. It resists wear well. The synthetic stock shrugs off weather that would raise concerns with wood, and the crossbolt safety is intuitive to operate. 
 
At 8.25 pounds, this is a heavier shotgun. In competition contexts that weight works in your favor, it steadies your swing and softens the 12-gauge recoil further, but it's worth considering if you'll be carrying it afield for hours.

The 1100 Competition Pro gets solid marks for reliability and recoil management; the gas system is the main reason competitors keep coming back to the 1100 action. The 30-inch nickel barrel draws consistent praise for accuracy and pattern consistency at the distances trap and skeet demand.

Weight is the most common complaint. 8.25 pounds is on the heavier side and some shooters feel it after long matches. The gas system needs regular cleaning to stay consistent, which a few buyers mention as a minor inconvenience. Price is another consideration, though most owners feel the competition-focused build justifies it.
