[Repeat Offender]

One of the things I like about the Mossberg with the pistol grip is it is easier to get a downward shot on a lock when doing a breach than a fixed stock shotgun. Also, if you have it slung, it is short enough that you can sling it out of the way and go to your primary [rifle] weapon before actually entering a room.

Or, if that is all you are packing, it is short enough for CQB/room clearing and getting into/out of vehicles.

And, as you said, they have a wealth of after market goodies available to them because of their popularity. When I picked up mine, one was $305 and the other was $290 and both came standard with the heat shield. Also, for situations like breaches/CQB you're less likely to get a jam or a feeding issue than with the semi-autos.
