Yes, it can be made, the same as modifying any double, and sawing the barrels off right in front of the forcing cones. The problem is holding on to the beast when firing it. I've shot light weight 12 gauges from the hip, and they give you a good jolt, but you're dropping the weight or mass way down from that, by making a pistol, which means a nasty recoil.

The old sawed doubles, with pistol grips, are generally shot with the left hand holding down on top of the barrels, and this is with say 12 to 16 inch barrels. Every ounce thats dropped, produces more recoil, so say a set of 4-1/2 to 5 inch barrels, will kick back like an angry bank Mule.
