I just don't think this would be much fun to shoot, especially with some 3 incher's in it...

    Nope. Unless I had a small space where I needed to store a gun like that I just can not see where I would ever want anything like that. I want a butt stock on my shotgun.

    A semi-auto would be easier to handle/manage the recoil then the pump action versions.  I've shot 'minis' and low brass loads out of a Shockwave and it was manageable.  I don't believe that 3" anything is needed for it's intended purpose.

    Back in my LEO days, we had NFA short barreled shotguns.  Only real use was when you needed to conceal a shotgun in a real small area.  Difficult to use, kicked like a son of a bachelor.  They LOOK a lot cooler than they are.

    Well, somebody wants it. There are 26 bids.

    I had problems with one of the original Stainless Steel, 2 1/2, 410 Judges. You really felt it, when shooting high brass loads. Much stouter than the 45 Colt loads. I was real surprised, because with it's 6" barrel it was quite heavy.

    Can't imagine what a short barrel, no stock, 12 gauge, shooting 3" shells would feel like.

    I have the Tac 14. I'm not sure why or what it's good for. I intended to buy one of these Tac 13 semi autos until Remington went out of business and they doubled in price.

    I've fired similar shotguns they really aren't that bad.  Anyone that shoots  could shoot it one handed. Generally I would place my left hand on top of the weapon to better control muzzle rise and get back on target faster, something I wouldn't do with a pump for obvious reasons..  With that said i would rather have a stock for better accuracy.  You can still hold a stocked weapon and shoot it one handed if needed however you can't put this one on your shoulder.  If I  was to get a weapon like this I would choose the semi-auto over the pump.

    IMHO, this is how they are intended to be used. Very manageable even with buck shot.
    There is a niche for these shotguns. In close confined areas such as inside buildings or houses and quick shots needed at waist level, I could use one. 
    With right size shot, they are great for defense at close range.

    It's a toy like a Taurus Judge, or a SPAS-12. Not a good choice when one needs to shoot to save one's life.
