I got a smoking deal on a used 12ga. Shockwave a few months ago and after playing around with it, it does seem to have some utility.
I added a Crimson Trace green laser to it using a rail as recommended above. Mounting the laser at the very back of the rail allows me to actuate the safety and laser with my firing hand. The combination of the laser and using a high chest index means I can run it effectively out to 15 yards or so. Trying to bring it up to eye level was an exercise in futility and awkwardness for me but YMMV. IMO, adding a brace kind of defeats the whole purpose of having such a short, compact weapon at your disposal. I plan to add a white light using a GG&G mount and a side saddle and call it good.
