I bought one, and it fell out under recoil.

Why would you use a mini shell for self defense? The advantage of a purpose built pump gun in shorty shells is obvious. Capacity. That's a drawback for pump guns with tubular magazines, which is why so much emphasis is placed on fast reloading under fire. Increase capacity, and decrease the urgency for fast reload under fire training.

PS With slugs, terminal ballistics on the shorty shells are about the same as low recoiling 2 3/4" shells, and zip through the full length of two gel blocks with ease, but you can pack significantly more in the mag.

I'd like to see Beretta come out with a version of their 1301 Tactical designed around the shorty shells.

How much are the stubby shells vs 2 3/4? Not sure, but they are growing in popularity, and if this trend of designing guns around them continues, the price for shells will only come down as manufacturers step up production.

Fixin’ stuff that ain’t broke.
I am..........disturbed.

Fixin’ stuff that ain’t broke. You said a mouthful there Dan. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to keep ammunition around that won't work in the vast majority firearms today. Its a range novelty.

My HD guns hold 8 rounds. If that ain't enough I will just grab another one.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

No, it serves a very specific purpose. It's loaded and kept under the bed. If someone(s) breaks into your home you'll have maximum opportunities to stop them. Not sure what's so hard to understand. ...But I guess to be rounding the corner on 60k posts here, a guy needs to comment on anything and everything...carry on.
