It's safe. The chamber is longer to accommodate 3" shells but it will also work just as well with 2-3/4". I've been shooting the 2-3/4" in my 3" Mossberg for years with no problems.

The danger comes when you try to shoot long shells in short chambers. NEVER USE 3 1/2 INCH SHELLS IN THIS GUN!!!

The designated shell length on the shotgun barrel data stamp is the MAXIMUM length you can shoot. That length or shorter is safe to shoot but NEVER longer than the length specified on the barrel.

You say nobody needs an AR15? Well nobody needs a whiny little b*tch either yet here you are!
Where have you been buying 2 1/2" shells? I'm pretty sure your thinking of 2 3/4".Originally Posted by swan
You're right on that one. I was just repeating the numbers in the original post when I answered the question. Didn't really take the time to think about the actual sizes out there.
my bad, it's 2-3/4'', not 2-1/2''. Thanks for your nice answer.
No problem. FYI you can get and shoot 2 1/2" shells as well. They are usually toted as being reduced recoil loads.. also safe to shoot in your outlaw.

To the original poster, thanks for asking this question as I myself was unsure of the answer and am happy for the information given by more informed shooters.
On a side note, anyone knows what kind of choke it has, if any?
