CZ makes a double barrel hammer double. But if I had coin, I would buy a new Ithaca M37 20 gauge security shotgun and pay them an extra $100 to test fire it 50 times to verify impact point and reliable function. I do not imply that this is necessary, but spending the extra money would be worth it to me.
I have a 311R that I kept in the closet for my wife when I was not home. It has a leather butt cuff on it. I kept it loaded with snap caps so I could fire both triggers and leave it like that. I also rubber banded two OO buck shells to the pistol grip. It reminded her to load it. It had a simple manual of arms

Modify the 311 so the barrels open up further to reduce or eliminate rebound

I turned an old Lefever 16 into a Fudd Tactical a few years ago. According to my research it originally had 28" barrels when new that were cut to 26" before I was born, presumably to open up the chokes. It was effectively open in one barrel and modified in the other with the two inch cut. I inherited the gun about 50 years ago from my grandfather, and about 15 years ago a good friend of mine who is really quite talented talked me into having him refinish it. Since the barrels were already cut and the gun didn't have any collector value, I had him go ahead with that project. As expected, he did a first class job.
A few years ago I decided to cut the barrels back to 20 inches and installed a HiViz FO front sight. It patterns Federal 2-3/4" 12-pellet 1B at 10 yards inside the 9-ring of a B27, and inside the 10-ring at five yards. Broken down if fits easily in the carry-on travel luggage I use for our visits to NY. I carry the ammo in a Wilderness ZipLoader, it holds the 16 gauge shells just tight enough they don't fall out.
For a home defense piece it wouldn't be my first choice, but I would not feel terribly disadvantaged either.

Damn. You always have the coolest shotguns....
Thinking out loud, I wonder how much cutting one down to 18”-20” and doing what you have done above would cost? I have a 12ga that has been collecting dust for nearly 30 years that either needs some tough love or booted out the door.
“Fudd Tactical”. BTW, I’m stealing that too. ;)
It is in my 12ga, but I tenderize my shoulder with the original butt plate to remind myself of days when I thought nothing of it.
I've got a box of Magtech 16ga around here somewhere. The plan was to load them with black powder because it was a good idea...maybe? I never got around to it, but if someone wants to do it, start here https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Ma...tinfo/3921270/
