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!

Pump. mossberg 500. Can get a combo set with different barrels.

Semi auto. I enjoy my stoeger m3500 waterfowl. Wanted a mossberg 940 pro waterfowl but was out of budget.

Mossberg 500 is my pick as well. Fantastic all around good shotgun.

I prefer my 535 with the camo but love the 500 with the wood. Now if only the WOOX Gladiator stock and foregrip was affordable.

Don't even get me started on WOOX.... i wanted to get a kit for my lever and it was pricey but damn it would look good
