Ruger .38 hammerless or shrouded wheel gun, black, prefer Crimson Trace
Saiga 12G, some thing I can put a 20 round drum on
Mossberg 12G pump Mariner or Remmington 870 Marine

I open to other than above.
These are my opinions so take them for what they are worth.

Handguns, Rugers are great weapons that are inexpensive, not cheap made junk. I have several GP-100's and love them. Smith and Wessons are great too but you will pay a little bit more for them.

I have had absolutely terrible luck with Charter Arms and Taurus revolvers, I wouldn't take one for free unless I needed a trotline weight.

Try gunbroker and gunsamerica for used firearms, just take into account the shipping and transfer fees. It can quickly turn a great purchase into just a purchase.

Shotguns. Mossbergs and 870's are both great. I am a bigger fan of 870's since that's what I started out shooting.

Saigas are hit or miss on quality. I would avoid them unless you want to pay someone to go over them and make sure the gas ports are drilled out properly and then possibly fix them because they aren't.

If you want a semi-auto, 1187's and 1100's are great and relatively cheap.

I don't know much about the semi-auto Benelli's and Berettas since I don't have any experience on them.

Another note of revolvers. If you are going to go to a free state where you can carry, then a small Ruger or J frame are great. If you just want something to keep in the hosue and punch holes in paper at the range, I would go for a 4in barrel with a good rear sight, not one that has a groove milled in the backstrap.
