"Choke" refers to the amount that the barrel is constricted at the muzzle (located at the end of the shotgun barrel). The more constricted the bore opening is, the narrower and denser the pattern of shot which can be thrown. Several degrees of choke are commonly available, including full, improved-modified, modified, improved-cylinder and cylinder bore. Full choke barrels are made for long range shooting because they make the shot pattern denser at greater distances. Improved modified chokes fall between the full choke and the modified choke and are sometimes used in trapshooting. Modified chokes are midway between the full choke and the improved cylinder choke. Improved cylinder and cylinder bore or skeet chokes have little constriction and give the greatest spread (most open pattern) when shot is fired at close range.

A slug may be fired through a choke so long as the slug can fit. If the choke is to small at best the choke threads will strip and at worst the barrel will split down the middle killing or maiming you. When in doubt ask the dealer.
