The sole advantage is, compactness in tight spaces.

In the "real world" not Hollywood, the pistol grip shotgun is a special-purpose ONLY gun, usually for bodyguards or others who have to use a shotgun inside a car.

A quick trip through a real combat shotgun shooting course will turn up the DIS-advantages of the pistol grip.

The main problem is, it actually makes it harder and slower to get on target, and recoil makes it worse.

Most people who buy pistol grips quickly go back to full stocks when they find out they can't hit as well with the pistol grip.

Bottom line: unless you have a real need for compactness over effectiveness, the pistol grip is a "Hollywood" thing that will actually make your gun LESS effective.
It'll LOOK cool, but that's about it.
