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.

Let me throw one more thing into the mix here. I am a right handed with a blind right eye. Now when I go shooting with my AR-15, I actually shoot left handed for aiming purposes. With my handguns I've taught myself to shoot right handed while aiming with left eye (not ideal but since I'm right handed I do not want to try to draw my CCW with a left hand).
When it come to a shotgun I've found the pistol grip to be better for me if I need it quickly, as in, i have been woken up in the middle of the night. Reason being, I can hold the gun out some and aim better then from the shoulder. NOTE: Added this to my original post Last edited by BlindEyeShooter; 08-13-2014 at 01:40 PM.

My stones are registered with the State. Fact is.... they're so big they qualify as weapons.

On one of my shotguns I use "cards" in place of a side saddle. They're velcro backed and (theoretically) you can carry a few and just tear 'em off and slap new ones one as needed. A bit too tacticool, you say? Well, perhaps but it also makes sense which is why I chose them. Moreover, you don't need to dicker around with your gun's hardware.
Here's an example: http://www.originalsoegear.com/colle...a-shotgun-card
