Absolute bargain here, and these have a decent rep:

Thanks for putting me onto that. Looks mint

Just get a decent semi, if you buy a pump gun you will just end up wanting a semi.

Buy once cry once,
Plenty of well priced semis around at the moment.

A pump will take longer to master for a new shooter, but if the budget is low, they're a more reliable option. If the budget allows it, a better quality semi wins

pump fan personally , if for no other reason than you can feed them anything reliably unlike a semi and feel they are a safer option for a newbie and for safely carrying loaded due to having to manually load the chamber after each trigger pull , less chance of accidental firing .
Not to mention the mossberg pumps can run the mini shells , with the rubber adapter fitted , which again is a good option for younger or new shooters due to the reduced recoil .

shotties are handy things to have

a 5 shot mossberg maveric with a Mod choke will be a great do all and run you under $500 new and literally last forever
they are much safer than a semi.
If you run a pump action a bit more roughly than you think you should it usually means they run flawlessly
870s are popular but they are rattly and I dont like them, same with the winny defenders
and they both tend to cost more and are heavier

I prefer semis now(and wanted one for years when using the pump) but starting out pump guns are hard to beat
