Silly things - underbarrel pistol for a shotgun?

So, while I'm waiting for my tax return (from LAST YEAR) to come in, I was thinking about the Mossberg 500 I plan on getting. (How's THAT for a use of tax dollars?)

Then I thought... "Hey, wouldn't it be great if you could mount a pistol on the pump?"

Does anyone know of anything like this?

I mean, I know you can get underbarrel shotguns/grenade launchers for AR-15/M-16s, and that's probably where I got the idea from.

Anyone ever hear of something like this, or am I going to have to fire up the CAD programs again? :lol:

Why not have under/over rifle/shotgun? That way it won't be 'restricted'....Hell, go with a select fire trigger system too ;), one trigger, flick a selector lever to select between shotgun/rifle ;)

Baikal makes a less "evil-looking" over-under shotgun/rifle:

Also, Savage makes one:

But are they repeaters?

I'm still mad at Rumsfeld for cancelling the Palladin artillery system. :)

As far as I know, it would be an SBR. With or without the other barrel, I don't believe it makes a difference.

But yes, I have thought of the same thing too. Like a 1911 where the backstrap attached to the rifle's reciever somehow so the slide could move freely. It would be a built in sidearm. A rather convienient idea. However, the added weight would screw up the handling of the rifle.
