Hey y’all I’m a 17 year old from the Maritimes and a novice firearms enthusiast. Im hoping to start collecting gun in a few years. I was wondering if y’all could recommend any good affordable shotguns and handguns ( yes I know about the freeze but I being optimistic and hoping it will be over by the time I can start collecting). Thanks in advance.

Benelli m4. I as a beretta 1301 owner will not recommend it.

Well my Hand guard broke under 300 rounds albeit it broke to 3inch slugs. It’s a good shotgun but I will always compare it to the m4 and unfortunately the breakage and some cycling issues I had with 3inch shells has made me sour on the prospect. Dm me if you want to know more.
