I am looking for a first gun and have decided between a pump 870 synthetic or a 1100 synthetic in 12 gauge. What do you think would be a good first gun. Can anyone point me to reviews or anything? Thanks.

I still occasionally shoot a round of skeet with my old 870. I have to quietly chant "shuck the gun" whenever I shoot doubles. 8)
I've owned two of the 1100 shotguns both in 12 gauge. The first had a wood stock and my second has a synthetic. I took my father out shooting skeet one day and he just had to have my 1100 so I sold it to him. I bought my synthetic 1100 to replace it. The synthetic feels a little heavier but it seems to help me with my swing when shooting skeet. I like the looks of an all black shotgun. This one will stay with me forever.
GET THE 1100, YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU DO NOT GET IT!
I've had two 1100s and I think they are great guns! One was a field gun, the other trap. I never had any problems with either of them. Another gun you might want to consider (there is a $100 rebate on them right now) is a Winchester Super X2, 3-inch synthetic. I've been using mine with target loads, including 1 oz, with no problems and... you can shoot some magnums too! It gives you a little more versatility, but fits different than an 1100.
