Let me throw one more thing into the mix here. I am a right handed with a blind right eye. Now when I go shooting with my AR-15, I actually shoot left handed for aiming purposes. With my handguns I've taught myself to shoot right handed while aiming with left eye (not ideal but since I'm right handed I do not want to try to draw my CCW with a left hand).

When it come to a shotgun I've found the pistol grip to be better for me if I need it quickly, as in, i have been woken up in the middle of the night. Reason being, I can hold the gun out some and aim better then from the shoulder.

NOTE: Added this to my original post

My stones are registered with the State. Fact is.... they're so big they qualify as weapons.

Is that why you are telling people you had to "register with the state"?

On one of my shotguns I use "cards" in place of a side saddle. They're velcro backed and (theoretically) you can carry a few and just tear 'em off and slap new ones one as needed. A bit too tacticool, you say? Well, perhaps but it also makes sense which is why I chose them. Moreover, you don't need to dicker around with your gun's hardware.

Here's an example:

I would dump the pistol grip they are not very practical. I would love to have someone from Mossberg show me how you are supposed to work the safety with their pistol grip. Unless you have an 8" thumb you are SOL. I would replace the pistol grip stock with a standard stock. The butt of the stock comes in handy in close quarters. To accurately aim, you are going to need to go left handed. Take that into consideration when considering a side saddle. If you choose to go with a pistol grip only, the whole idea of a side saddle comes into question because you will not have the gun against your shoulder.
