I wouldn't fire it from the shoulder with the pistol grip. You would be
asking for shoulder and/or facial damage.

The pistol grip option is not for target shooting at a distance, it's for
close-in action against live aggressors. The short barrel and pistol grip
allows the weapon to be kept close to your body and maneuvered quickly. Your
adrenalin will give you the strength to handle the recoil when fired from
the hip, or in just about any other position.

Weapons are not needed in most areas of the world. If your travels take you
to the more dangerous areas, then you need to decide if you need to be
armed. If you're not ready to kill an armed aggressor, without hesitation,
then don't carry weapons. Even if you do decide to carry a weapon, a shotgun
may not be right for you.
