So my partner has one and I've shot skeet, targets, slugs, and buck through it.
It's worthless
They are cool but without a stock they are awkward to shoot and with a stock it makes the vertical grip awkward to rack. It's short rack and awkward angle give it a hang up.
To each his own though l. I mean if you want a conversation piece this will do it!!! They aren't fun to shoot though. My opinion is worthless but for the same price if not cheaper I'd SBS a coach gun with hammers

Mark Serbu is still alive and well, and building firearms. No reason not to have one if you want it. Sure, it's a real handful to shoot. You only live once. Okay, ask him to make you one in 20 ga if you want.
Thanks for your opinion! In the beginning, I thought you were going to say you shot a round of skeet with it haha.
I always thought it would be a neat home defense item. But for the price I see them at now, it doesn't make much sense.

I've also shot tons of skeet with it
it doesn't like ejecting federal bulk pack 8 shot!! I find you hit more clays with a hand thrower and a yuengling It's a TERRIBLE home defense gun IMHO.
I say all this but the little guy does turn heads so again it's all what you want!

I have an 870 AOW 14" and it's better than the shorty in my humble opinion. Ive fired both and the 870 just feels better. The super shorty does look cool but that's about it.
Does that thing even hold two rounds?
2+1. I know right?
Man.
The "loaded chamber indicator" is the tip of the shell sticking out of the end of the barrel.

I did my own (with a tax stamp of course) one of my favorite guns to shoot. A few suggestions.
1. The ATI scorpion grip greatly improves the palm slap normally felt with a hard plastic mossberg grip. Recoil feels more manageable.
2. I highly recommend a sidesaddle due to the low capacity. The standard tac-star sidesaddle needs bigger screws installed because the recoil is rather stiff.
3. This thing creates huge fire balls, even with birdshot.
4. Spread is what you would expect, with a realistic range of about ten meters tops. At 25 meters, spread is bigger than 5 feet.
5. ATF ruling states these can be mounted under rifles, haven't tried making a masterkey yet, but I am considering making one.
6. 5.00 stamp to transfer 200 to make (might as well SBS it then)
7. compact awesomeness.

Black Aces makes an AOW like this that feeds from Saiga magazines. That way, you don't have to worry about being limited to 3 rounds.

It's a $200 stamp to manufacture an AOW. $5 to transfer.

Shout out to Scott's Gun Smithing and the Urban Broom. Check it out! Maybe someone smarter than me can post the link or a picture, but they are awesome!

Here is the Urban Broom - a non-NFA shortened shotgun.

Or you can build your own from a Mossberg PGO (factory-built as pistol grip only):
http://shockwavetechnologies.com/site/?page_id=88
All the parts are here (currently sold out):

Loads of fun and no stamp required. Recoil is a bit fierce with buckshot or slugs, of course.

Has anyone tried the mini-shells in these?
They work fine in mine. And fun to shoot, not punishing.
