The company known as Navy Arms sells and has sold pretty good guns.
There must be plenty of them around.

I've been in the same boat for years. I like the idea of a 20ga shotgun pistol without the BATF paperwork, or price of the Hawdaw.
One potential option that came to mind, is to find a decent big bore pistol, such as a .54 or .58 cal (preferably one with a rusty bore so ya can buy it cheaper!), and then have a machine shop ream the rifling out of the barrel. A 5/8" drill bit/reamer is .625", which should be close enough for this purpose to still use 20 gauge wads. Ballistic Products sells wads that are slightly oversized, too.

One of those Japanese made Tower pistols sold on gunbroker for $270.
Hope that winner enjoys pricey wallhangers.

There's one born every minute. If you've just got to have a large caliber smoothbore get the Tower. Just be prepared to spend more money on it to get it to work right. I don't know if a Chambers or Davis etc lock will fit but that would be your best option but those locks will run you 150.00-175.00 bucks. If you do that then you could get a decent stock to put it all in and have a decent gun.
