Rifled Pump Shotgun... Advice?

So, if I can find a good used 3 1/2" gun there is no disadvantage for slug shooting since chambers are 3". Just thinking there may be more chance of finding a used Mossberg 3 barrel combo in 3 1/2" because someone bought it mostly for waterfowl hunting but didn't like the recoil... maybe?
An option anyway unless there are other disadvantages?
If I buy new then likely the Mossberg 500 3 barrel combo. So far cheapest new I have found is $575 CDN which isn't bad.
I am currently out of work for a bit though so no toy money. It'll come though!

LB,
My Mossberg 835 shoots 3.5” slugs. I did a video on 3.5” LBC sabots.
I would stay clear of any 870 made within the last 20 years. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.
