Murdoc actually thinks this is pretty cool:

Stoeger Double Defense 12-gauge Shotgun
Stoeger’s new Double Defense side-by-side shotgun is a straightforward, rugged and reliable home defense shotgun. Ideal for use in tight quarters and tense situations, the Stoeger Double Defense with its traditional break-action and short, efficient design is easy to load and quick to deploy in an emergency.
A double-barrel shotgun has been the defensive firearm of choice for generations, but Stoeger has added practical, up-to-date features to the “tried-and-true” double gun. The Double Defense is chambered for 2-3/4- and 3-inch shells, in either 12- or 20-gauge. The tactical-length 20-inch ported barrels feature fixed, improved cylinder chokes. The fast, single-trigger design and convenient, tang-mounted automatic safety makes the Stoeger Double Defense ideal for home security use.
The Double Defense gun is outfitted with a green, fiber-optic front sight and comes standard with two Picatinny Rail accessory mounts: one on the receiver for red-dot sights and a second factory-installed rail under the barrels for attaching targeting lasers or tactical lights. All metal surfaces are finished in matte blue and come complete with non-reflective matte black hardwood stock and forearm.
Yes, the argument will be made that not much is going to beat a standard pump shotgun for simple home defense, and Murdoc won’t disagree. But I gotta say that I don’t think this is a bad idea and that there’s nothing wrong with a side-by-side. I’m sure some will wonder about the need for a scope on such a gun, but if this is intended for defense a light could be handy and I can see putting a red dot on there.

The Double Defense comes standard with two Picatinny Rails for accessory mounts: the front Picatinny Rail is factory-installed on the underside of the barrels and will accommodate targeting lasers or tactical lights.
Scopes and lights not included. The 12-gauge and 20-gauge models are available with 20″ ported barrel (overall length 36.5″) and both have an MSRP of $469. More info here.
