By that I mean a solid 12 ga, 28 or more likely 30 inch barrels-selling in the neighborhood of 3 to 4 hundred dollars. Not much downside risk. The Nitro is also a "modern" gun in that it can handle current ammo and not plagued with frame cracking, etc.
Good luck on your choice.


What this guy said. An implement, cheap to buy and use, excellent to discover if this a path you want to go down.

Best,
