quick question, which application to go for?

[ferreting lad 2]

thinking of applying for a shotgun licence, would mostly be shooting pigeons, crows and rabbits. i was thinking id buy a 3 shot semi auto if my application was accepted. but was a bit confused whether i needed to apply for the SGC or a fire arm cetificate coz it says the shotgun doesnt have a magazine or capable of holding more than 2 cartridges but this gun obv has 3 shots? thanks for any help

2 in the mag, one in the chamber. ;-)

3 shot guns only hold 2 in the mag, and can go on a SGC bud, no worries

Yep, semis and pumps are fine if they can only fire 3 shots (1 in chamber, 2 in mag). You can get FAC version which fire more, but obviously you need a FAC for that.
