Awesome! Corn-gratulations to both of you. 
I can hardly wait until my boy/s are wanting to walk fields for pheasant with me. I have already taken them deer hunting, and my youngest scored two deer.
Many happy hunting days!
Oh yeah,...... and pics too please!

We took it to the range today and he shot it with 00buck and slugs, and the recoil was almost nonexistant with the gas system of the 1100.
He had no problem shooting it rapid fire and staying on target. We had some reduced recoil buckshot, and the slugs were standard slugs from Winchester. After shooting it a few rounds, I put in a magnum slug and he had no problem with that either.
But, still I am going to stock up on the reduced recoil slugs and buckshot for shooting competitions, and still looking for a standard vent rib barrel and a standard magazine cap to remove the extended magazine tube, when it is not needed to lighten up the gun and make it not so nose heavy.
All in all, I am happy with his choice and he got a great deal on a great shotgun. He has already asked me if it is really his, and I told him yes, when you get old enough and move out, you can take your guns with you, after you get a gunsafe to keep them in.
