I am considering spending the money for a Federal stamp to buy a 14" barreled Remington 870 for my patrol shotgun, but I have no experience with such short barreled shotguns. I like the idea of having a compact shotgun, but my main concern is how well such a short barrel will shoot slugs and or buckshot at any distance. Does the 4" I would be giving up even matter, or should I save my money and get a 18" or 20" barrel. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
