Most of the uninitiated believe that a PGO shotgun is realistically more manueverable, but it is not so.
Unless you are fighting inside a closet, there is no significant difference in manueverability. Sure, there are a few imaginable scenarios in which the shorter, lighter weapon would be better. But there are a hundred times as many in which the ability to aim the weapon accurately and place quick followup shots is much more important. If you really find yourself in a tight spot (like turning a corner from your hallway to a bedroom), you can simply tuck the stock under your arm or down to your waist while you move through the tight spot, and then put it back on your shoulder so you can actually aim.
The primary justification for a PGO shotgun is when you aren't intending to use it as a primary weapon and are instead only using it as a tool to break through doors or use as an absolute emergency defensive tool.
Other than that, if you really believe you will find yourself in situations like fighting from inside a car or whatever, at least get a folding stock so you can fold it out for every other use. Another option is to get a single-point sling to put around your body while wielding the weapon, so you can hold it closer to eye level to aim while putting forward tension on the shotgun with both hands to keep it from hitting you in the face.
Sorry for the confusion about the break. They were saying having the break might get you laughed at, and not having the break would be fine (except that it's a PGO shotgun :wink: ).
I like to think we are pretty friendly to newbies (we've all been newbies before, and some of us probably still are and don't realize it
). So, just ask what you need to know, and we'll do our best to get you the answers you want (or point you to search results).
