My best recommendation would be 'not to!'....they're generally bloody horrible, point like a bent stick and kick like the proverbial mule.....
There's always something on 'Usedguns' though. Was a Miroku recently for not much.
Save your money and buy a sxs or an o/u would be the better bet though.
Regs,
Tank.

Myth? According to who?
'Slug' barrels from all manufacturers are 'cylinder'.....not full choke. Why would they do that if full choke works fine?
Its plenty safe, ive shot plenty of slugs through full choked guns, but accuracy won't be as good with 3/4 or full choke as it can deform the slugs as they compress.

If you have a cheap shotgun you can always cut the choke off then no problems with chokes and accuracy, if you don't care about the gun.

Ive use toilet paper to good effect, or just old sheets cut up.
