Plus, commercially available shotguns tend to be a bit on the big side.

In the US, at least, you can start with a full sized field gun and legally modify it to a shorter gun. For example, you can start with a Remington 870 field gun, buy a shorter barrel, and then buy a pistol grip or folding stock.

And if you're want to do something illegal, sky's the limit.
