Good save. I'm thinking the good ol' 1100 has a reserve of strength built in to save us from ourselves but one can never be certain.
Years ago a friend wanted to try out the old Winchester Model 97 Black Diamond trap gun I brought to an informal shoot with hand thrown targets. I didn't notice that he loaded one of his 3-inch Magnum shells into the gun. He came over to me complaining that my gun wouldn't eject the fired shell. Well, it wouldn't would it? The fired 3-inch shell was too long and hung in the opened action. When I realized what he'd done he did say the gun kicked very hard. It seemed none the worse for wear though it was made in 1911. I think his thumb caught the bridge of his nose or his cheek. Served him right.
