Birdhead and pistol grips are illegal in CT, so I'm going to reserve judgement on that until I arrive in a FREE State. In my (limited) experience with shotguns and pistol grips, I'd recommend leaving the shoulder stock on. We think a "scattergun" will knock down everything, but the truth is, you still have to aim it, even at shorter distances. The spread on a 12 gauge at 10 feet really isn't "that" big. Yes, in the heat of the moment.... you can still miss with a shotgun.

I would concur with Doc on the tube extension rather than a saddlebag. I found that they get in my way, while keeping 7 or 8 in the tube works just fine thank you very much.

Muzzle brake: Aside from maybe looking good, especially those door opener ones with the sharp corners.... you can expect a louder report when the gun is fired, as the gasses are coming out the sides. If you fire it inside the house without "ears on".... you're still going to have ringing ears for a couple hours, but the muzzle brake will make it even louder.
