It seems that this debate has been going on for awhile, but I have a mossberg 500 rolling thunder (pistol grip 12ga) with a laser attached to it's front rail and I am more accurate with this set-up (with pistol grip held a few inches from my face as if a rifle) at a range than I am with my Remington 1187 sporting 12ga. The mossberg is much easier to conceal in a corner/under a bed, very maneuverable, and would be my go-to if (God-forbid) a home intrusion were to occur. However, many shotgun owners say a shoulder stocked shotgun is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for home defense... Having both an accurate laser and adequate range time with my pistol grip mossberg, I would find my long barreled (but shoulder stocked) 1187 the WRONG choice for home defense... Anyone know why the shoulder stock seems to be the winning choice for home defense? I'm stumped
