Apart from looking like a legend in the mirror but a complete fu**ing tool out in the field are there any pros or cons with buying a pistol grip shotty?

all cons an no pros really ... bad wrist, struggle to get the same mount continuously so don't get same sight picture constantly, look like someone strait out of snatch so public phone police on you etc etc

If it was a pump or semi, there would be the obvious problem of being under length too. Unless you had a 4ft barrel.

A shotgun can have a pistol grip and a full stock...

Pro: Devastating at close range. Extremely portable. Lightweight.

Cons: If it doesn't have the stock the recoil is going into your wrist, not your shoulder.

If you're running an armoured vehicle crew and you need a guard whilst entering a bank vault they're handy pieces of kit. If you're hunting there are better ways unless you worried about bears crashing into your tent in the night. Either way, they'd be frowned upon by most traditional shooters unless you're out here in the colonies.

If you want to look at a pistol grip shotgun done correctly look at the Benelli M4.
