The only place you will get critical looks for your choice of gun is at trap clubs and trap is the last game you need to be shooting.
I have a Benelli M2 with 26" barrel and +5 mag extension and if I whip it out at a sporting clays or 5 stand course most people want to finger **** it. It is synthetic stocks and park finish but is 20 gauge so catches people's attention. Stick to clays and 5 stand and skeet and no one will care what gun you use. I have a nice looking 21" 1100 that can also do double duty nicely, or I should say triple duty. I use both of these guns for games, clays and hunting. Same goes for a couple of 870's I have.
I"m assuming a pump gun would be the way to go? or should i be considering semi-autos? I was hoping to spend around $300 to $400. It seems everybody has an 870. I was entertaining the idea if getting something a little less common. Like an entry level Binelli, Beretta, or CZ. Any thoughts on these?

I agree remington 870 express combo with regular barrel and rifled barrel
Of all the games trap requires the most muscle memory. Take a dedicated trap shooter quail hunting and someCurious as to why Trap is the last game he should be shooting?
And what is 5 stand?
I've only shot on two different trap ranges, never any issues.
Seems to break down in thirds: subgroup of crusties, some indifferent folks, and a fair number of nice ones.
Show up a few times and don't be a **** and some of those old grumps won't be so bad
For those of thin skin and needing a pat on the arse for every little thing they do..........some of the older style groups might be a bit much.
Like anything, know your audience.
Be polite, safe and everything will work out.
Yrs ago I met a coworker over by Anderson, Deer Creek IIRC. Not as big a crowd as used to at my home range, but dang if everybody there wasn't super nice.
Had a great time even if I shot like crap.
Ya just never know, unless you get out and shoot!

Trap requires precision, focus and consistent technique and set range of possible angles.
