Yup, last I heard. In case you were wondering, that's pretty short. :) Perfect for HD though, loaded with some small shot for the first few maybe,like 6s, followed by some 2 shot or larger if you want..

Mine is my Hunting gun, 28" barrel, modified choke, (pretty tight for HD, but more range than something like an Improved cylinder or open choke) and it's loaded (in order they would be fired) 1- #6, 2-#4s, and 2-3" magnum T shot. it holds 6 with one in the barrel, and I keep ammo close. You could go with a lighter load for strictly in the house stuff, like all 6s, they have a LOT of energy at 30 yards or less, and the pattern at say, 20 yards with an open choke is impressive. They're not a "cone of death" that will cover 6 feet at 10 yards, but they'll give you, say, 18" at 20 yards with 6's. definitely effective. I live in the country, so that's why my shot sizes go up, Ts' will go through a car door at closer ranges. I like shotguns. :) Crexrun
