The 1100 lightweight is a very good choice.
When stoked with slugs, it can best be compared to a semi auto version of the brown bess.
my mossberg has a 20 inch barrel, and i don't find it too long. (i've shortened the buttstock by an inch and a half, which makes the gun the same OAl as an 18.5 inch barrelled full stock model.
chopping the buttstock an inch is better than chopping an inch off the barrel, handyness wise.
I'd leave the vent rib barrel intact. a bead is fine mor most serious persuits, anyway. for surface to surface and surface to air work, fit is more important than ghost ring sights.
