Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This Smith & Wesson Model 1000M is a highly refined and scarce variant of the classic gas-operated shotgun, chambered in the highly shootable 20 gauge and explicitly choked for a Full constriction. Configured as a magnum model designed to cleanly chamber three-inch shells, this 20-gauge version serves as a remarkably lightweight, soft-recoiling, and fast-swinging alternative to traditional, heavy 12-gauge waterfowl or turkey guns. It retains the signature deluxe aesthetic of its era, featuring a high-gloss Japanese walnut stock with crisp skip-line checkering, a ventilated sight rib barrel, and a polished blue receiver. With its fixed Full choke throwing tight, dense patterns at extended ranges, this specific setup stands out as an exceptionally collectible and incredibly practical piece of 1970s–1980s field craftsmanship.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
