You'd also do well to compare the respective quality and manufacturing techinques involved......That A/5 (even a clone) will outlast any stamped design. Virtually every part of old JB's design is machined from forgings....virtually every part of the Remington is stamped or cast. Pull one down and compare it to the other side by side and it is quickly apparent which one will be in there for the long haul....now, that's not to say that the 1100s a piece of junk...it sure is not, but in truth, from the standpoint of both reliability and longevity the A/5 wins hands down.....lots of newer shooters simply don't adjust well to the recoiling bbl in the Browning and prefer the admittedly smoother action of the Remington, thats OK too, but don't sell that old gun short......Mine is a "newer" one....made in 1954, and in all the years I've owned it it has NEVER failed to feed and to fire......light or heavy loads seem to make no difference. It is also utter lightening to reload, if thats a consideration, if it has a split carrier...........way quicker than an 1100 and I've actually compared mine to a hunting buddys in that department.....
Both are good gun designs, just depends on what pleases you........guess I'm an anachronism tho, I absolutely cannot stand Glocks either!
