It doesn't look like this has been posted yet. I'm in the process of developing an opinion, but I'm erring on the side of liking it. The full-length rail is a bit much, but they were already past the point of making it pretty anyway.
At least it's made of wood and metal.

Stoeger Introduces New Home Defense Shotgun
By Press Release
May 20, 2009 - 2:46:08 AM
ACCOKEEK, MD (May 15, 2009) -- Stoeger's new Double Defense side-by-side shotgun is a straightforward and economically priced, rugged and reliable home defense shotgun. Ideal for use in tight quarters and tense situations, the Stoeger Double Defense with its traditional break-action and short, efficient design is easy to load and quick to deploy in an emergency.
A double-barrel shotgun has been the defensive firearm of choice for generations, but Stoeger has added practical, up-to-date features to the "tried-and-true" double gun. The Double Defense is chambered for 2 ¾- and 3-inch shells, in either 12- or 20-gauge. The tactical-length 20-inch ported barrels feature fixed, improved cylinder chokes. The fast, single-trigger design and convenient, tang-mounted automatic safety makes the Stoeger Double Defense ideal for home security use.
The Double Defense gun is outfitted with a green, fiber-optic front sight and comes standard with two Picatinny Rail accessory mounts: one on the receiver for speed- or red-dot sights and a second factory-installed rail under the barrels for attaching targeting lasers or tactical lights. All metal surfaces are finished in matte blue and come complete with non-reflective matte black hardwood stock and forearm.
"Stoeger's new Double Defense shotgun is a perfect choice for high-stress, self-protection situations where simple is best," said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli USA's VP of Marketing & Communications. "If you want a gun that's easy to use and quick to handle - and one that won't crush your finances - the Stoeger Double Defense is your shotgun of choice."
