What combinations are so similar that if you are familiar with operating one, you can immediately operate the others?

By "ergonomics" I mean the same safety location(s), same method of loading, same trigger reach and stock shapes, etc.

I think including a handgun may be impractical. The increasing number of shotguns and rifles whose stocks include a pistol grip may make it possible, though.

It seems to me that this would make practice much more effective, compared to picking 3 firearms without considering commonality of operation.

I guess these "match":
Remington 870 pump shotgun and 76xx pump rifles

What else?
 
Remington 1100, AR 15 and a Sig 229.

the Sig is just thrown in there because it's amazing and on par with the other 2.
 
If you take the handgun out of play your question is easier to answer. Similarly operating rifles and shotguns are pretty easy to find, e.g., the AK derivative Saiga rifle/shotgun and the Remington 7600/870. I can't think offhand of any handgun that operates just like the long guns.
 
Thanks for the replies so far, people!

By "handgun" I was thinking of traditional handguns. I wasn't thinking of short-barrel, pistol grip weapons firing rifle calibers (Krinkov pistol, AR-15 pistol). It sounds like I have to exclude handguns.

The shotgun should be available in 12 gauge (leaving out the AT-14).

Trustin, the Remington 1100 looks very unlike a typical AR-15 to me. Are there specific models you have in mind?

It looks to me like the shotgun / rifle "pairs" so far are:

1. Remington 7600/7615 and Remington 870
2. AK-47 pattern rifles and Saiga 12 or 20 shotgun

Are there more?
