But this is way cool, double barrel pump action shotgun : )

I'll pass along what my dad told me, never buy a cheap tool because you'll just keep buying it over and over again.

This is true of guns as well.

You need to practice with it or its just a hazard to you and your family. A cheap gun basically has only so many shots in it before it wears.

But its your money, not up to me to spend it.

I'd go 9mm semiautomatic. They're relatively cheap, ammo is common and they have sufficient punch without getting really heavy/bulky. I'm fond of the Sig Sauer P226. Good heft, easy action and highly recommended.

Or a Mossberg short barrel pistol grip pump action shotgun.
