Actually, a 13" LOP is often preferred by folks who wear body armor or are on the smaller side.

I'm a behemoth, and I can make 13" work, though I prefer a bit more.

The standard stock works better most of the time, my wingshooter 870 goes to 15" and works better.

A defensive shotgun is used more like a rifle, though,and being stocked like a rifle is no handicap.
