I strongly recommend against a pistol grip, or even a folding stock. They are just not practical for the average homeowner.

Unless your need for concealment outweighs the need for performance, don't bother with a folding stock.

That stock helps you instinctively line the shotgun up towards a target, absorbs recoil to facilitate follow up shots, provides stability for reloads, helps prevent bad habits, etc. It is important.

If you really want a 'shorter' shotgun, get one with a youth stock, or cut down a regular one, but don't get rid of it altogether. A folding stock will only complicate things for you, especially with a mossberg since they often cover the safety and/or the 'sights'.
