"Mossberg Remington and Winchester All make great short barrel combat shotguns.
its possible to pistol grip all of them.
as has been mentioned before
a pistol grip only shotgun is an exellent house defender but you are only utilizing a small portion of the shotguns capability
I have had several folding stock and pistol grip shotguns.
what i have found is that when I use a folding stock shotgun
I usually have the stock extended.
with a pistol grip only shotgun it is possible when holding it at waist level to break your wrist
the reason being is when it recoils.
If you have your wrist bent all the way when you are holding it level at the hip and fire it you can crunch yourself.
of course you can do that with a folding stock that is folded too.
the trick is to turn it sideways so it can recoil
You need to ask your self why a pistol grip only shotgun?
What purpose does it serve?
if you are wanting something short to manuver around in your house, in the dark, well ok
I know how to enter and cover a room and enter and cover a person in a room just as well with a full stock gun as with a short gun.
A short pistol grip shotgun rolls nicely in the center of a sleeping bag when ya got it bungie corded to the front forks of your motorcycle.
So it is really up to you
I like Mossbergs AND Remingtons AND Winchesters
they are ALL equally servicable.
Get one and then YOU learn to shoot it
I like side saddle shell holders.
get some snap cap dummy rounds and practice
reloading
cycle and reload
get to where you can do it safely AND FAST
Then send the wife and kids (all occupants of the house)
To the movies and while their gone
practice going through
your house entering and covering each room.
spend a coupla hours
get good at it so YOU know your house
you know the best spot to fire from.
Do it from several different angles.
Think about it.
Then when ya got the time go practice shooting your shotgun.
30 feet or less no sights
do it laying down.
rollong on the ground then take your right hand and stick it in your pocket. and figgure out how to shoot your gun with your left hand only. how to reload it.
practice this and get good at it
then switch hands
practice it and get good with it.

See Mark. You are the weapon the shotgun is only the tool.
when you are practiced and then add the shotgun thats when you become an effective defender of your home.
Ya gotta take this stuff seriously
If and When the time comes for you to use that thing there will be nothing more important.
Best of luck."

I almost killed one of my cousins who was playing around and tried to scare me. They all call and ring the doorbell now.
I thought that I was the only person who was this pro-active. (Even down to paper thin walls in some areas in some rooms and guns between the studs of some walls.)

"guns between the studs of some walls."

I like this cat.

Well gang...., the meltdown began today. Tomorrow morning it will resume in earnest. Now seems like a capital moment to clean, oil, load, and position all of ones tools in their various boxes.

Remember to whistle while you work.

What you know about heart?
Can you assemble your heat in the dark
Take it apart, and clean all the parts?
Life is a journey, of course, like learning a martial art
You can't have partial heart
Gotta give your all, if you drop the ball, dog, we all fall
It ain't over til the problem solved
Get your back up off the wall
My niggaz is riders, we fighters, we tight as a fist
RBG's up in this bitch, so bang on out
If your khakis is saggin, you reppin your rag and you holdin the magnum
Use it for freedom nigga, bang on out
All my dirtiest dirtys, revolutionaries and visionaries
Don't be no scary nigga, bang on out
It's a war goin on in the streets, we hollerin fuck the police
Ain't bout no peace, nigga, bang on out
Stic.Man
Dead Prez

Yeah, DV, I can do this all day, my dude.

And the thing that gets me is nobody seems to be noticing that it's all coming down around us. Everybody's got that "collective sleep" thing going like everything's fine, just like on September 10th, 2001.
