I have an 1100 I'd like to use but the trigger group on it has no safety. Legal or no? I'll use another for 3 gun that has a safety

Dunno, OP. I'd like a safety on my shotgun, but I don't have them on my striker pistols - nor do I want them. But...one thing you will need in SHTF is a good shotgun or two. I think they will be useful for taking down small drones. Antifa has said they wanted to make small, homemade explosive drones. They had another thread here showing a Russian dying a terrible death from a drone gas attack.( Speculation as to poison gas.) Whatever, drones will be the new sniper round to hunt people down. Now the only question is what is the best 12 ga round to bring them down? |

I know nothing of tactical shotgunning. I do not know the rules and regulations regarding that branch of competitive shotgunning. In skeet if you call pull and your safety is on it's a lost target. it's not a failure to fire (you get 2 of those per 25), its a flat out lost target. It's not uncommon to find skeet guns with their safeties pinned. It's a big deal, competitions are generally won in a shoot off after having shot 100 straight. A loss due to a safety on and you're out of the running. In trap, I think it is ruled as a Failure to fire, and you get 2 occurrences of that in a round of 25 - after that it's lost. Basically you get 2 failures to fire for most any reason, then they are lost. Sporting Clays - NSCA is the same organization as skeet (NSSA) - I'd guess its going to be a lost target. |

I guess I should have been more specific. I want to use a Remington 1100 in 3 gun competition. I have two, but the one I'd like to use has a trigger group with no safety. The whole assembly was swapped out back in the 80's for a hair trigger with no safety for Sporting Clays competition. I'll post a pic when I can get my imageshack account working. |

I have shot 3-gun stages where the stage description states something like.... "start position, face downrange, shotgun butt on belt, safety on, engauge targets as the become visible " I remember running the shot timer on a match once, and the shooter had an AK type rifle, and small paws, and I thought, it's gonna take him forever to take that safety off the AK......and it did. TL;DR - you want a safety on your 1100 |

No 3 gun competition is going to let you use a long gun without a safety unless it's a single or double barrel. |

@K5FAL Is your (no safety) trigger group marked "Timney" anywhere ? Just tonight I've been learning about what you have More examples |
