The more I have shot the 101 and the more I have looked at it, the more it has called me back to our roots in shotgun history. I have spent about five months with the Winchester Model 101. With a gun like this, I just want to preserve their history of them. We love modern firearms and the ability to customize and tacticool-out your firearms and make them fit a need. I have been shooting Over-Unders for years and there is something about their simplicity of them that makes them so beautiful to me. I will stick to my beliefs that any respectable “Gun Guy” will own all three. My list if three guns that all gun owners should have. I believe there are three gun staples that anyone who likes guns should have. Sorry, where was I? Right, the Winchester Model 101 Over-Under. It is even more badass when you dust two clays in a row, you stand there and hit the lever while someone who saw the whole thing watches the shells fly. If you haven’t experienced an over-under, you are missing the feeling you get when you eject the spent shells and they are still smoking. The reverse side of that coin is the joyful feeling I get when I eject the spent shells from an over-under. This sound is what would scare off a would-be burglar.

The reason for that is because of the sound the shotgun makes when you chamber a round. Something I have heard over the years from many types of people is that you want a pump action for home defense. Some are for hunting or for shooting clays and others are for home defense. Each of them has a use and a reason I own them. I have two pump actions and two semi-autos. The Winchester Model 101 Over-Under 12 Gauge Shotgun Review
