I wouldnt use a 26 or 28 inch barrel for the home but thats just me and thats a choked barrel so you wouldnt want it for deer slugs either

hmm...sorry im not getting the difference in barrel thing...lol not sure what choked means

ok....so hows this? its got a 20" barrel so i could use it for home and hunting right?

yep you could use that for both but get the smooth barreled version and use a rifled slug , so your not shooting buckshot down a rifled barrel

do i need different barrels for slugs and buckshot? or should i always be using slugs anyways?

ive never hunted before, my girls dad goes every year so im trying to pick up a gun i can take to go with him, but that i can use for home protection

you need slugs for deer , you dont want to use slugs for home defense

slugs come rifled and non rifled

dont want to shoot buckshot thru a rifled barrel, ruins the rifleing

if you dont want to swap barrel get a smooth 20" unchoked barrel and use rifled slugs for deer and 00 buckshot for home

vances has them , prices are a bit high there IMO. JJ1 is a member on here and works at vances he would prolly help you out with selection if you go when he's working . I use gunbroker.com when I need a gun or the gun shows , theres one tomarrow at vets

If you go let me know, ill roll with you.
