New PAL holder looking for advice on first non-restricted. Already ordered a 9mm that will arrive in a few months/years. Mainly looking for range use with very small possibilities of hunting later in my life. I'm thinking about pump ~500cad (win sxp, m500, nova, etc) I'm leaning towards relative conpact 20ga as I'm concerned about recoils and don't really want a 4ft gun to carry to the range and store. (12ga recoil could be significant especially with smaller barrel) because i promised my significant other i won't buy another one in a long time so Id want this one to last and be versatile. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks. It seems most 357 lever are ~1k, which is above my budget. Also lever seem to have large meg capacity, i dont really wanna get into any potential complications of reducing meg size when c21 passes.
