Not quite, regular length barrel with a pistol grip and a regular stock, you can use either one. We use the pistol grip. Hubby is Ret. Senior Chief, and he thought it the better weapon over the 9mm, LOL I can shoot the 9mm but can't clean or rack it. It is always racked and ready, has special rounds that won't go through the house to the neighbors. And yes we own a gun safe, we have to many grands and great grands not to, plus we live in Memphis, high crime city.
