The Model 1000 series were gas-operated auto-loading shotguns produced for Smith & Wesson by Howa Machinery in Japan. As marked on the barrel, they were manufactured to S&W specs. Production began around the mid-1970s and continued until 1985 with several different models hitting the American market.

The most common models were built with an aluminum-alloy receiver and trigger guard with black anodizing. Receivers wore lovely scroll engraving. Barrels were S&W proof-tested, chrome-molybdenum steel. The ventilated rib showed a matte finish. Stocks were crafted from American walnut with cut checkering and a high-gloss finish. The crossbolt at the rear of the trigger was interchangeable for left or right-handed shooters.
