Right, Baron 23. And like I said earlier, your handguns have a grip to hold onto instead of the metal. In fact, many people replace the grip on one to have even better control of the gun. You don't hold a rifle by the barrel(s). So, why would you prefer to hold the barrel(s) on a shotgun? Your fingers can go over the top too far on a quick shot and if you have your hand open you can possibly cover the target or lose control of the gun because you aren't gripping it. Plus they look skimpy and ugly. At least to me. Nuff said.
