Remington Model 11-87 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun

The Remington Model 11-87 is a classic American gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun introduced in 1987 as the successor to the legendary Model 1100. Over its 33-year production run until discontinuation in 2020, the 11-87 served hunters, sport shooters, and law enforcement with a self-compensating gas system that was ahead of its time — automatically adjusting to the pressure differential between light target loads and heavy magnum shells without manual intervention.

The self-compensating gas system is the 11-87's defining mechanical achievement: unlike earlier gas-operated designs that required separate gas systems for different load weights, or manual adjustment between light and heavy ammunition, the 11-87's system automatically regulates the gas bleed to cycle reliably with 2¾-inch light loads through 3-inch magnum shells. This versatility made the 11-87 genuinely all-purpose and greatly simplified ammunition selection for field use.

The 11-87 was produced in 12 gauge and 20 gauge configurations across numerous variants — Sportsman, Field, Premier, Synthetic, Special Purpose, and others — with barrel lengths ranging from compact slug/defensive configurations to full-length sporting and hunting barrels. Production ceased in 2020, making available units new-old-stock collectibles for admirers of American classic shotgun design. The 11-87 is priced as a collector and performance purchase — buyers should confirm which specific variant and gauge is stocked, as specifications varied meaningfully across the production run.
