Buy recommendations Help me splurge!!! 💸

Hey guys - it finally looks like I'll have my PAL/RPAL in hand this week based on the update on my RCMP Profile.

I've been to a store to browse around but it's pretty overwhelming especially as someone new in the hobby.

I do want to stock up on a few different types, I know I'll be in the range quite a bit and think they're just beautiful in general.

I've also been looking at a lot of the reviews here on Reddit but I'm looking to see if I could get some consolidated feedback from this community before I "pull the trigger" 😫 on these purchases. Here's what I'm considering:

1) EGE Panzer M4 Speed Pro (12GA Semi)

2) Federation Firearms GK12 Gatekeeper Pump (12GA Pump)

3) Adler Arms RF224 (11.7")

4) Derya TM22 (18 or 16") - **I've seen quite a bit of mixed reviews on these. Also not sure if I should just wait for 18" to be in stock.

5) ATI SKS w Folding Stock

6) S&W 1854 Stealth Hunter - **Not sure what caliber/ammo I should go for

let me know your thoughts!

“Buy once cry once” they say to you while recommending a three thousand dollar shotgun. Gee I guess so guys 😂

I know that people have good intentions with the recommendation, and the M4 certainly would be a lasting and reliable firearm, and much much better than the Turkish knock offs but...

Yeah, it's quite a price for a first timer I'd think, unless it was a person's dream shotgun, not sure I'd recommend it off the bat. I guess OP did ask for everyone to help him spend money.

I guess in the perspective of truly doing burn downs or just mad amounts or life long shooting it does make sense but everything I own is “budget” lol (and I love every single one even tho I know fudds would not lol)
