Notice that the longer skeet or hunting barrels are $170 while the 18-inch defense barrel is only $90. Just some advice for those who don't already own a short-barrel Mossberg .... if you're buying a shotgun and want it for both sport shooting/hunting AND self-defense, but the gun with the long barrel on it, then buy the short-barrel separate. The guns cost abut the same whether the come with long or short barrel, but buying the second barrel is a big difference. Often the long-barrel shotguns are even less expensive than the "defense" set up guns with 18-inch barrels (go figure).
