Buy recommendations Best 1st shotgun recommendation

Hi folks, its time to finally get my hands on my first shotgun.

I have been doing some research and with my knowledge on shotguns being soo little, i must admit i cant really decide on anything ive seen so far.

I mainly want one for "owning one" and maybe waterfowl hunting. Ive pretty much steered clear from shotgun after firing a 12ga slug on one of my coworker's shotty and was left traumatized xD.

Fairly new to shooting, been about 4 months with a PAL. Already got a ruger10/22, tikkat3x in 308win, and the type 56 sks. Must add a shotgun.

TLDR: looking for advice regarding a shotgun purchase. Brand,chambering and action type recommendations for a new shooter.

Thanks all!

Look into push pull technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He1OXyLbaoA

Works pretty good. If you want to do waterfowl Beretta makes some semi autos with the "Kick-off" System that mitigates recoil. Semi autos are already lighter on recoil than pump actions.
