I am very new to to shotguns. Just recently acquired a Mossberg 500C 20 Gauge. It came two barrels, both 26", one rifled for slugs. I'm no hunter but figured it would be sufficient for home defense. I have shot it and was really pleased with the operation. The 26" barrel seems a little long for a home defense shotgun but I had no luck finding a shorter replacement in 20 gauge. Anyone know if there are any aftermarket barrels out there? Didn't see anything on Mossberg site. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
