ok but the video posted by someone above, kind of makes it easy to see it being useful in some admittedly 'edge cases'. Still, if that shotty fails, runs dry on ammo or is otherwise not functioning, not a bad day to have an extra pistola. I cannot vouch for the fit, feel or any of that, which probably is rather awkward. It wouldnt take me as long as a reload to draw that out and go. Assuming the release switch works decently. There's no 'regular need' for it. Agreed. Only the irregular need of some 'oh shit' and 'thank goodness I had that pistol' It is unlikely to be a game saver, but the fact that it could be, helps... Still probably will never own anything like this.
