sight radius and choke
18" barrels don't "swing" well on moving targets as the sight radius is shorter.
They are handy for short range protection as the can be pointed fast.
Also the open cylinder does not provide the optimum pattern.
Yes you can hunt with it.
However longer barrel and any choke will be better.
The screw-in choke will vastly improve your shooting.
Find one of those combo pumps with two barrels.
Hunt with the long one. Come home. Unload. Swap barrels and clean gun.
Load for home protection.
