it's my understanding that the "shot choke has to be removed to shoot 45 Colts.

My .45/410 barrel is one of the round ones, with the internal "straightener" shot choke. I call it a "straightener" because while it has lands and grooves, they have no twist, they appear to be straight. The intent, of course, is to (at least to some degree) counter act the spin the rifling gives the shot charge.
Can't say precisely how well it works, I've never patterned the gun with/without (hmm, new thing to try sometime!
).
I can say that the factory paperwork was very emphatic that regular .45Colt ammo was NOT TO BE FIRED WITH THE CHOKE IN PLACE!
It didn't say anything about shooting .410 slugs, and now, I'm wondering....
Anyone know?
