I find that big interest in this type of weapon a bit strange. If you buy one just to fool around with, alright, if you have the money go for it. But consider one to use as a serious defensive weapon? Your kidding me. (No I never shot one or owned one, if that bothers you too bad.) A .410 shot out of a 4 inch barrel? If you like .410, get a full size shotgun, at least you would have a chance. You would be better off with one of the mini-9mm that out there or even a 5 shot revolver. At the very least you know where your shots will end up. I can't believe that Smith and Wesson are really copying Taurus. A nice GP-100 or a used Model 19, there are so many other options than a .410 shotgun revolver I am totally blown away with this.
