Randy, have you ever fired a sawed-off shotgun? I have. It was a twelve gauge with 12" barrels and the stock was cut off just about an inch behind the pistol grip. NO FUN AT ALL !! You'll never recover fast enough for the second shot (assuming you even dare to shoot it again). I thought my hands were broke! I think you'll hurt almost as badly as the guy on the other end of it. Never again. . .
