I think you misunderstood me. I am trying to help you come up with playable rules that you can use to incorporate your ideas. I meant that the pump-shotgun, in the rules for Last Night On Earth, is not a two-handed weapon. When developing new rules, it is important to try to stay consistent with what already exists. That is why I was curious as to how the sawed-off shotgun you are developing was going to be different, from a play-mechanics point-of-view, than the pump shotgun.
I think video games probably portray a much more accurate picture of what zombie warfare may be like than organized shooting competitions, but until Z-day, it is hard to say for sure. In pistol competitions I have seen, people normally fire a single pistol while holding it with two hands. I believe this is how it is "used properly." Only in special "Bull's-Eye" competitions are pistols fired one-handed. Given that this is your frame of reference, why would you consider this an obvious one-handed weapon in the game?
I think the "Cowboy" ability may be too strong if he (you?) can combine any mix of several "one-handed ranged" or "pistol" weapons, and you should consider choosing your favorite "pistol" to be able to use this with so he isn't constantly double-gunning everything. That is how the Clint Eastwood one works.
