According to their definitions any originally manufactured pistol grip shotgun should be considered a destructive device. Hope they don't decide to suddenly enforce that.

Not having a full stock on a shotgun is about making it a smaller package. Adding the front pistol grip just adds back. That and the ergonomics of the front pistol grip are all wrong.
