I own three handguns, S&W 686P, Glock 27, and Ruger LC9. I have no experience whatsoever with a shotgun or rifle but was thinking of making one of these my next purchase. Not sure which features I need, don't need, etc., but would be using it just for some recreational shooting and home defense. I am not a hunter.

What are some good brands for the money? What are the more expensive brands? What features should I really consider when making this purchase? What are the tangible differences in a rifle and shotgun?

Any input you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!!
