Since the OP already shoots a Remmy he will have problem with point of aim on a Silver Pigeon or Red Label. Both are great guns, but if they don't fit your point of aim you will just be blasting air. This is the same reason I didn't recommend a Benelli, Mossberg or others.
Another good gun for clays in a semi-auto is a Browning Sporting Clays Gold. They have an adjustable Comb and csn be fit to almost anyone.
The most important thing in any shotgun is fit. The 1100 recommendation is good as it is still a Remington and the POA remains the same. There is nothing worse than shooting a new gun and you can't hit anything..... very frustrating. You can learn a new POA but it takes time, effort and a lot of ammo.

Well jumping from a pump or even a semi to a OU no matter the brand is going to change your natural point of aim. No matter what he chooses he is going to have to go out and fire it a lot to get use to the way a OU shoots, it's just different. When I first started out on trap it was with a Benelli Nova, it was a great gun but shooting sporting clays was the deciding factor in getting my OU. I do agree with the statement of it's all about the fit. Brownings are nice, never shot a citori but the semi was just too heavy to me to be comfortable. Just remember whatever you decide to get just make sure you get what you want, in the end it's your money and your the one that's going to be shooting it.
Noah @ Ark Tactical has a pretty decent OU in stock if you wanted to go check it out I know he will be open today.

Thanks for all the input fellas I might have time to swing by Ark I live close by, I never thought that buying a shotgun for sport has this many variables......wow I think I need to hold a few and decide

If you wanted to run my benelli through 25 or 50 rounds out there I could meet you some time. Don't discount the semi just yet. I bought semi because I waterfowl hunt and an o/u is not the optimal firearm for that.

Thanks for the kind offer........but money is burnin a hole in my pocket I don't think I can wait urghhhh the madness

Check out the Benelli Super Vinci as well..... I was going to get either a SBE II or the Vinci depending on the best price I could find. I found a deal on the Vinci and jumped on it right before dove season this year. You won't go wrong with either of those and if you have the cash they are worth every penny.
