Glad I stumbled upon this post and your reply. I have a Mossberg model 500 that i recently converted into a tactical/home defense shotgun. I bought the Mossberg security barrel 18" with cylinder choke, item #90015, see this link>>>>>

I've been wondering if I could safely and effectivly shoot slugs using this barrel and if so, which ones?
Thank you in advance for your reply/ies.

Just make sure whatever shells you shoot are what length the barrel is made to except such as 2 3/4" or 3". Not familiar with the 870.
It should be marked on the barrel or in the manual if you got one with it. Other then that, any load should be fine other then slug due to your choke threads being on the inside of the barrel.
If I'm understanding what I've read so far. That's why I've asked for a confirmation on same for my barrel...
