1187's shoot "soft", they always have (much softer than benelli's or Beretta's)

But they can be finicky and because they are running on gas, they have to be cleaned a lot. 8/10 times if you see a guy on the clays course with a jammed semi-auto it's a Remington 1100 series.

For a clays gun, perfect, for a GOTTA WORK WHEN IT'S GOTTA WORK, I'd pass.
