The Smith & Wesson Model 1000 is a semi-automatic shotgun offered in 12 and 20 gauge by Smith & Wesson during the 1970s and 1980s. The shotguns were developed and manufactured in Japan by Howa Machinery.[2]
History
The Model 1000 was available in 12-gauge and 20-gauge, with trap (1000T) and skeet (1000S) variants. Both gauges were offered with 2+3⁄4-inch (7.0 cm) chambers; the 12-gauge was also sold with a 3-inch (7.6 cm) chamber for magnum shotshells.[1]
The Model 1000 was offered by Smith & Wesson from 1973 to 1985.[3] It was subsequently sold by Mossberg for a few additional years.[4][5]
