Hey so I've decided that I'm going to use a Remington 870 shotgun to CTB with either #00 or slug shells. My main concern is how I can reach the trigger and whether or not a sawed off shotgun would be better (even though those are illegal in some areas and require additional paperwork/money). For context, I'm around 5'0 tall and the length of my arms (from my index finger to my shoulder) are around 18-20 inches, which is about the length of the barrel of a shotgun.
But it still feels pretty risky to try to angle the gun perfectly at my brainstem while the gun is in my mouth, and when I'm just barely reaching the trigger of the shotgun. Am I miscalculating anything? Will any of this matter or am I just being paranoid? Are there any other options for shotguns that are just as accessible (as well as cheap) as a Remington 870 but maybe shorter?
