The recoil guns have their own set of problems.

Modern propellants have largely eliminated the 'fouling' problem with auto shotguns. An 1100 run with Titewad or Clays or virtually any current factory shell except the South American garbage will go for an entire weekend of target shooting without any maintenance.


Back in the 80s when I duck hunted obsessively, I experimented with my Grandfather's Model 11 while my hunting partner continued to bang away with his 1100. There was no doubt which was more reliable in the dead of winter on sandbars. The 1100 every time. And all the ammo was factory.
