A good pump gun - is not a bad choice for a first gun / especially for Trap.

I think you'll just need some time getting a good gunmount / work on your other fundamentals --- and get some tips on "fit". An angled comb gun like most pump guns / can be straightened out with a "comb pad" and to adjust the angle for a good fit. Lenght of pull can be adjusted by different recoil pads.

But if you have the budget for it ....a good semi-auto is not a bad choice either - like the Beretta 390 or 391 series guns/Browning silver, etc ...
