Don't have the links handy right now. But there are a variety of folding, retractable and pistol grip stocks available. You can also get some nice super comfortable rubberized forestocks too. You can also get 12 round magazines for a reasonable price. Good find!

Well, I held the VEPR-12 and fell in love. It's mine now.

I grew up in a cop and Army dad household. Gun safety has been drilled into me for as long as I can remember.

Hey IC. I'm in the market for a shotgun. I'm not entirely sure if I want a 12 or a 20 yet, and I'm not versed enough in shotgun lore to know the pros/cons of the gauges.. I want it to be pump-action. I want it to look "tactical", preferably all black; definitely no camo pattern bullshit, and I don't care for wood grain.
I will mostly use it to shoot clay pigeons; a hobby I'm starting to consider getting into with Perry... but home defense is also part of the equation.
I found a Black-owned gun shop near me that will special order stuff, so I think the field's pretty open as far as recommendations go.

I second the 870. Barrels are super easy to change, and parts are very cheap. I keep mine around the house with the 18" barrel on it and have have the stock 26" barrel for clay/bird hunting.

Or, this is most entertaining shotgun I've ever used.
