Like has been said before make sure the gun fits you well and spend the money on quality for sure. You will be glad you got an auto if thats what you end up getting. I feel like im much more accurate since switching over years ago. Weight is a key thing to consider when buying a new gun too. It may not feel too bad in the store but lugging it around and shooting alot can tire your arm out. One of the worst culprits of this in my experience is the Mossberg 935. A great gun but awfully heavy for my taste. I shoot a benelli SBE 2 just so you know where im coming from.
