Do any members have (and would be willing to post) photos (either period photos or contemporary photos of period weapons) of the Winchester Model 97, Browning Auto-5, or Remington Model 11 in original or recreated law enforcement or military configuration ?

Has anyone participated in any formal training with one of the three shotguns described above, and would be willing to post a mini-AAR re: performance with that platform compared to contemporary LE/MIL shotguns ?

I just picked up a Model 11 Military Finish that needs to be cleaned up. The former owner had installed rifle sights, one of which fell off and added a butt pad. Not positive yet if the barrel was cut down or if it's one of the original "Roit" models. I might have some picks up soon...

I don't believe you'll be at any advantage by buying "old school".

I would not feel "undergunned" with my 8-shot Auto-5. That said, I do have two 870s, and would really like to pick up a Benelli.
