Participantnost: I’ve got an aftermarket top folder on my 870 (Choate) and it does cut down on the length, but the recoil is brutal (compared to a standard stock with pad). Sort of a six of one, half dozen kind of thing.
Definitely more maneuverable in tight spaces (like a hallway) than a full stock.
I don’t know what your budget is like, but Wilson Combat Shop (www.wilsoncombat.com) offers Scattergun Technologies shotguns and they have some really trick s**t (if you’re willing to spend the money).

Participantnost: In a pump, I would recommend either the Remington 870 Police with magnum receiver (meaning it can handle the 3″ shells) or the Mossberg 590. I’d get it with rifle sights, so you can shoot slug loads and if you get the Mossberg, I’d get the ghost ring sights.
The Remmie has a smoother action than the Mossberg, which is rough IMO, but the Mossberg is cheaper.
I’d add a mag extension (that will give you an 8 round capacity), and a sling and you’re in business.

Participantnost: Uh, you do see the inherent contradiction between agreeing with the wonderful utility of a pump shotgun in turning a perp into wallpaper and then decrying the violence of the topic?
Speaking of wallpaper, I’ll leave off with one last little tidbit: For those shotgun aficionados out there, try the BRI Sabot Slug. It is a .50cal round chambered for the 12ga. Extremely nasty, but highly fun to shoot. I shot up a load of watermelons and an abandoned refrigerator with these for s**ts and giggles one time.
As the Mazda folks would say: Zoom-zoom.

Participantpeterb: Yup. Good ole 12ga does the trick. I carried a shotgun in the Army and swear by it for close in stuff.
I have a Remington 870 Police with a mag extension and use a mix of 3″ Magnum slug and 00 Buck loads. If you can’t stop someone with 9 shots of 12ga, you deserve to be dead.
Veritas: That thing (the Desert Eagle) is a complete boat anchor. Fun to shoot and completely worthless in the real world. I’ve fired it in .44 Mag and .50 AE and it makes a big boom, but you can hit the broad side of a barn with it. Any handgun that weighs nearly as much as a rifle is kinda pointless to begin with.
