The confusion may have come in your choice of terms. Most of us think "pistol grip ONLY" when we hear "pistol grip shotgun". That is no buttstock, like the Mossberg cruiser. Those are the compact but not so useful models they were talking about.

A pistol grip and buttstock gives the ability to pull the gun into your shoulder more firmly, which should give the ability to fire more rapidly due to more positive control. Also, you can keep the weapon in the shoulder better if you have to take your off hand away to open a door or something. Some states (cali?) consider a pistol grip as a sign of eeeeevil and call such weapons "assault shotguns".

On a personal note, I wouldn't buy the Benelli M4 until after the Ban sunsets and they hopefully put a FUNCTIONING collapsible stock and a full length, non-blocked mag tube on it. It looks badazz but they've neutered the thing. You can get better/equal features for less money on several other guns.
