Maybe a sling is to a HD shotgun as a holster is to a handgun, but do you keep your handgun holstered in a HD scenario?
The HD 870 here has no sling on it, tho it does have swivel studs. The deer hunting 870 wears a sling during the season, and not the rest of the year, when it serves as backup.
As for transitioning to a handgun, I'd just drop the empty thing,since it is of no possible use at a crucial moment. However, if 9 or 10 shotguns rounds do not resolve the crisis, probably a magazine full of 45s won't either.
