I first shot an 18" pistol gripped 870 12-ga back about 32 years ago. It was a gun I actually owned and kept for quite a while. I think I shot 1-0z slugs and 2-3/4" 00 buck thru it. Every few years I would give it another go, trying to get better and see if I actually enjoyed it. I called "no joy" and gave up.
I'd equate it to holding a .44-magnum derringer in your hand and getting whacked in your palm by somebody swinging a baseball bat when pulling the trigger.
I couldn't hit a 9" paper plate from ten feet on a consistent basis.
