Anyone own any short barreled shotguns? Coachguns?

I was interested to see what kind of stuff people owned here. I've always loved short barreled shotguns, especially ones made from double or single barrels with stocks nicely cut and sanded to pistol grips. There's a guy with a great little side by side madmax style on youtube and has videos of himself shooting slugs and all kinds. I'll see if I can't find it.

I got an 870 with a birds head grip by raptor and a 12" barrel. I'll get a picture of it when I can get the camera. I love it. It's bloody deafening when using the 3" magnum rounds though I gotta say. Anyone to the side or even back a bit is deaf. Surprisingly the recoil is very very managable. I've not done anything idiotic like shoot it one handed. But held properly, right hand firmly gripping the pistol grip and left holding the pump and bracing it forward slightly, it's very manageable. I haven't shot it since I splurged and bought a huge bag of nice shooting ear plugs.

If you google witness protection 870, it's practically identical to mine. Though mine has a sling on it and no duct tape or nasty bubba barrel! The 12" barrel came stock. Thinking of a 4 or 5 shot side saddle too. Really got to get around to getting an after market magazine spring and low draw aluminum follower. I see em on ebay but keep forgetting when I got the spare cash. Next week maybe.

Agreeably they're not the most practical but there's nothing stopping me from changing the barrel and stock if I wanted. I could change the magazine to an extended one if I liked. But 5 + 1 is alright.
