S&W Super Skeet Shotgun
Was the Super Skeet, Model 1000S, ever made in 20 gauge? I used to have one in 12, sold it, regretfully, and kinda have a need to have one again in 20. The problem is, I don't know if they were made in 20. Does anyone know? Does anyone have one? Want to sell it?

Google: S&W Super Skeet Model 1000S and you will get many answers. Gun Broker has three 20 gauge guns but 2 are well used.

I had searched earlier and didn't find anything. The GB listings are standard models, not the Super Skeet. A search on Google found one 20 gauge that sold at auction 13 years ago. Everything else is either 12 gauge Super Skeet or a standard 20 gauge. But part of my question is answered. They did make them. They just never seem to come up for sale. Thank you again.

How does the "Super Skeet" differ from a non SS?
Thanks

Here are a few pages from the 1984 catalog.

I never owned a Super Skeet in either gauge, but I had friends who did and I shot theirs. They were well made guns, and looked and handled very nice. They also broke targets very well. The only problem that they ha was that the gas system wouldn't fire 100 times without beginning to jam from carbon build up on the magazine tube. A competitive shooter doesn't like to have to pull the barrel and clean the magazine tube partway through the match. At the time, I was shooting a Winchester Super X Model 1, and once shot it 600 rounds without cleaning. It would have gone longer, but it got rained on during a shoot and I had to tear it down to clean and dry it out.
