I've never owned a shotgun and I probably won't use one very often. It wouldn't be for self defense but mostly to have as a collection of sorts and partly to play with at the range.
First I've been debating .410 versus 12g. I know 12g has a lot more power but when it comes to shooting holes in paper or perhaps fruit, I'm not too concerned. I do see that 12g ammo is generally cheaper. Is there a reason to go with 410? I'm assuming it would have less recoil but I'm not sure how much of an issue that would be.
Second, I think a standard stock is probably best. I've seen the pistol grip models and some say they are easier to shoot because the way they can be held. I'm not sure if I buy that.
So far I've been looking at the Remington pump model. What are the top names in shotguns right now? I'd want a good one but nothing with an exotic price tag.
