NEW XD5.25 competition - what kind of shotgun for 3 gun competition shooting ?

So excited to have received my new XD 5.25  9mm.  I recently completed the NRA Basic Pistol Instructor class and qualifying in the shooting was my biggest concern.  This new gun (And Kim Heath's) class made it easy.    I think I'm hooked on this sport since I now have, 4 Springfield 9mm.

I want to purchase a shotgun for 3 gun.  Any suggestions…
