I took the 1187 'Police' model to the range today for some buck and ball shooting. The 20" barrel has rifle sights and removable chokes. I routinely keep a modified choke in it so when I tried some Federal slugs in it, I left the modified choke in place.
This was 5 rounds from about 50 yards standing unsupported. next I put the rifled choke in the barrel and the next five rounds about tripled the group, with 2 going off the paper completely.
It could have been me but I think that the Federal slug which I assume is the old time non sabot slug was happier in the smooth bore modified choke barrel!
