I know nothing about shotguns. Well, I know the various gauges and that some are pump, but for all intents and purposes let's assume that's all I know. I've fired a shotgun before, but that was years ago.
1) What are the differences between the 1100 and the 11-87?
2) Is an 870 with comparable mag and barrel length greater in weight than an 11-87?
3) Is an 11-87 blowback-operated, gas-operated, delayed roller... ? Which is it?
4) If one were to cut down the barrel to 18.25", would it affect the operation at all?
5) Are mag extensions available for these?
Basis for this is that I'm interested in a shotgun that everyone in my family would be able to use (esp. Mom). What I'd like, if possible, is a youth synth-stocked 11-87 in 20ga with a shortened barrel (see #4).
Any input on this?
P.S. I've long abandoned my abomination idea (See here) and the Mossberg 590 is long gone.
