If that had a bird's eye pistol grip on it that would be amongst the coolest shotguns I've ever seen. Nice rig OKCShooter.

HD shotguns?? In my past I've owned an 590A1 with 18.5" bbl, and never had an issue shooting her. After the injury to my neck, and three surgeries even with a limbsaver pad I could no longer shoot a 12ga. Recoil was just to painful. I'm a lefty so what ever I chose its going to have to have a tang safety. Naturally the 500 series of guns came to mind, an with a short LOP I got a 500Y in 20Ga. an put on the limbsaver for an extra inch of reach for a perfect 13". Recoil is sweet, and with a slip on side saddle I've got one full reload of 5 rounds. With #2 buck she's nothing to look down your nose at. She is most acurrate with the modified choke.
I also got a coach gun in 20ga, and with her recoil pad an weight is also a sweetheart to shoot. My latest addition is a Savage model 30E in .410. Everyone can laugh all they want, but at 25yds to contact she can hold her own. She has a modified choke, 26"bbl an holds 4+1, and is scary accurate. I would not want to be on the business end of her.
This is what she will do at 25yds, at room distance it would be very ugly!! Fist shot with #4 shot, and then 00, and 000 buck shot. Not that this would be my primary, but wouldn't feel underguned!!

I love that grip. What is that setup?
I'm guessing the shotgun has to come with a pistol grip to do AOW for short barrel?
My wife has an H&R Protector, which is an 870 clone made by Norinco. "They" say it is made with a higher carbon steel. Most of it's parts are 870 compatible. It was $150. She loves it. Looks like this:
I have a Stevens 620.

i recently put a Hogue pistol grip on an 870 youth 20ga. With a turkey choke, it puts nasty holes in wood, even with 6s. I would suggest 4s, not buckshot if you want to minimize shooting through walls. I say that and I have mine loaded with alternating slugs and #3 buckshot. Either way, a pistol grip is fun to shoot and cheap to build once you have the shotgun.
Anything reliable. Remington 870, Mossberg 500, Mossberg 590, Benelli Nova, Benelli Supernova, Ithaca
