Ok, here's why it is less than ideal.
Recoil, surprisingly isn't that big of an issue as your arms just move to absorb it (though the gun does jump around a lot and will greatly slow follow up shots).
What causes problems is the fact that you basically have to shoot it from the hip and it is very difficult to get accurate hits while shooting in that manner. It doesn't have a stock so you can't shoot it like a full sized shotgun, and you can't straighten both arms out like a pistol so you are forced, basically, to not aim. The addition of the forward pistol grip (folded up in the pic) further ensures you will have very little directional control over the weapon.
Second, I believe that gun has a 3 round capacity, which is far less than ideal for defense (though granted, most of the time the first round will end the fight).
Third, it requires both your hands to operate properly. You will have a hard time opening doors, pushing an attacker back to create space, etc.
