    Something in 12 gauge, if your after pigeons trap ammunition is perfect, and the cheapest you can get

    More details on what you will use it for and how often etc would help inform any suggestions but the biggest thing is getting a shotgun that fits you. If it doesn't come up right and put the shot where you're looking, it's a waste of time.

    Second the recommendation for 12 gauge as the variety of ammo is better and more affordable, plus you will have way more options of shotguns to buy.

    New? Second-hand? Any shot count restrictions specific to your region? Budget? Wood and blue for looks/style + cheaper or camo coated for durability/function?
