What he said. Also it doesn't shoot shotshells worth a hoot without the choke in so it is not really a dual purpose barrel as you can't quickly switch from one to the other. It does make a fine shotgun tho, and patterns well out to 25 yards. I use my 'Tender 45/410 purely as a shotgun and it is great at that.
P.S. You won't hurt the barrel if you shoot a lead solid through the choke, but it will tumble upon leaving the muzzle and keyhole.
