Designed by the legendary John Browning, the Model 11 holds the distinction of being America’s first autoloading shotgun. Introduced in 1905 and in production until 1947, over 850,000 units were manufactured, including 65,000 produced for Browning during World War II. While this specific Sportsman variant is configured with a three-shot magazine, it was part of a broader range of Model 11 grade options, from riot and police models to high-grade tournament and premier editions. This model’s elevated receiver profile and traditional lines maintain a timeless appeal. Though later succeeded by the Model 11-48, the original Model 11 remains a beloved piece of firearms history—both as a hunting tool and as a symbol of early 20th-century innovation in autoloading shotgun design.
