I also found that Voodoo, and it would work, but I am more interested, also, in the one in the original photo. It would work better with a 12" AOW shorty shotty. The voodoo would have too much extra size. The poster of that scabbard wrote in the Pic forum that it is from a company called SKT industries in Seattle, but they dont have a website. I have google searched the hell out it it, and called info-tel for seattle, as well as checking the seattle yellowpages....no luck. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated.
As for WHY, for the ARFcom Holier-than-thoughs, A shotgun is instrimental in breaching, as well as making a better CQB/entry gun than a pistol. And, throw a few #8 shells into your survival pouch, and you have the means to kill some small game, unlike shooting a squirrel with a 5.56 or .308, which doesnt leave much meat on the bone to eat. As for the added weight, it is about the same added weight as mounting a Masterkey, except that that weight is better distributed for carry on your back in a scabbard, than weighing down the front of your barrel. True, I agree, carrying a 18" shotgun with tube extension, side saddle, surefire light, and full stock would be excessive, but a trimmed down basic 12" with pistol grip is very managable for the beneifts you gain.
