To Choke or Not to Choke

Chokes can be very useful in competition, hunting, skeet & trap, and just target shooting.If you can put more concentrated patterns of lead on target then it's good for home defense as well.

All depends on what you do with the gun. For competition I'd say a choke is a great thing to have. I have a poly choke on the gun I shoot the most (birdshot mainly) and I cut the threads off of the gun that serves HD duty.

 

I keep the polychoke set on either the tightest setting, or the second to the tightest setting and it's great like that for shooting clay, knocking down plates, or just sawing a target in half. Cyl bore just peppers the entire target.

I have a full choke in mine. I shoot buck, slugs and birdshot through it. It doesnt care and it helps the gun function or so it seems.

A full choke will indeed help the gun cycle better by creating more back pressure. I've seen a one port gun go from not even extracting a spent shell, to fully ejecting every time with a choke adapter and extra full turkey choke.

I use a SGM modified choke on mine, I shoot #4, #6, and 00 buck shot through mine. Works great and patterns well too.
