First time gun owner- which is the most solid?

[traingirl]

Been doing research on the gun thread and came up with these. Just wanting to know which one is the most reliable for a person who is new to guns. Don't want to spend a bunch of money on a gun that I can't even use. I may go test out the Mossbergs this evening to see their viability and if I can figure out how to use them. I can get a Mossberg this evening but would have to wait a few weeks for the Smith & Wesson 686 Performance Center Pro but according to my research, it has an incredibly light trigger pull and is good for beginners so maybe it's worth the wait?

Depends, do you want to do a headshot or chest shot, since they're all short they'll all work for either or. It's just a matter of how badly do you want to be disfigured if going for a headshot (if you care about that of course). If you go with a shotgun go with the shockwave since it's easier to handle and maneuver than the maverick.

I'd prefer a chest shot but if I get desperate, I'm willing to go for a head shot lmao. I'm 5'7 so I'm just wondering if it'll be awkward going for a chest shot with the shockwave. Is the shockwave pretty easy to get the hang of if you're a beginner?

Shockwave is easy to handle at that height, also contact shotgun blasts to the chest have no documented cases of survival, so if you do a chest shot use the shockwave.

Thanks, I'll go check it out at the store later. I was going for chest because I'd heard one of my favorite musicians Mark Linkous shot himself in the chest with a 12 gauge shotgun and was successful. Do I have the right ammo? I saw where 00 buckshot was recommended but I know slugs were also recommended.

Either 00 buckshot or a slug will work the same.
