Those went quickly,glad I grabbed one!!
Where a rescue team,not assassins!!
How much difference does the modified choke version make?
Good question since there is really no info on the net.
I remember when I first saw an 870P 14" with fixed Mod choke in the late 80's, early 90's.
I asked the dealer about the different choke and he said some Police forces wanted a Mod choke due to their testing of different loads of buckshot. They wanted a tighter pattern and less stray pellets in an urban environment.
Whether the Mod choke compared to IC or Cyl bore which is seen on all Police models of various barrel lengths will produce tighter patterns with 00 Buck remains to be seen as I cannot find any data. In my case, I like the Mod choke so I can bird hunt also with the 14" barrel. This is my main gun in the bush where I walk every day and bears are present.
