Yes, back on subject!
I too see a field shotgun being just fine for HD if you're in a stationary position. The shorter barrel of a normal HD gun is for better maneuvering. But if you won't be moving around, then it doesn't matter. But if you do need to get up and move, use your handgun for that and leave the shotgun in your stationary position. Might be a good idea no matter how short your shotgun barrel is anyway. Handguns are quite superior in maneuverability, at the expense of power and ease of hitting. A shorter shotgun would be a good compromise between the field gun and handgun.

You just have to take all this into consideration and decide what your needs are.
