Personally I prefer to keep it simple for home defense. The less gadgets, add-ons and items requiring manipulation the better. I've taken a few upper level shotgun classes and NONE of the serious students or instructors had folders or "pistol grip only" stocks. The classes are usually about evenly divided between standard buttstock and a buttstock with pistol grip. Some were shortened a bit for ease of mounting.

I prefer the standard stock profile. For me it is the most versatile for use from varying firing positions. Mine is about 1/2" shorter than average because I shoot from a squared stance instead of standing "bladed" to the target.
