Questions for you fellas who've sawed off your shotgun barrels; do you get a pattern decent enough to shoot birds or trap with, or is it too wide open for that? What about slug accuracy and buck patterns? Adequate/good/excellent for home defense?
I've shot two guns that were sawed off and I couldn't hit pigeons at all with them. And I'm not a bad shot...when I went from hitting 9 out of 10 to 0 out of 10, I figured it was the gun and not me. I ask because I'm trying to decide between finding a cheap used 870 and cutting the barrel or buying a new one with an 18-21" barrel and an improved cylinder choke for $277 + tax at walyworld. The 28" barrel I have now is just a tad long to wield efficiently around the house
