Bob S.,
The shotgun. What a wonderfully versatile weapon for personal defense. I recommend them to all my "gotta' have something around the house" friends. The one thing I tell them not to get is a pistol grip. Unless you're going to practice a lot with a pistol grip shotgun (which a lot of folks I know don't do, even with stocked shotguns), keep the stock. Easier to aim with, better control, soaks up recoil better, and helps define the term "buttstroke". Overall, I believe that the stock is there for a reason, and to take it off and use a pistol grip would prevent the shotgun from doing it's "job" the way it was designed.
Just my two cents.
