I used to have the T/C Contender, and I think all of us played with the rifled .410 barrel at some time. I think we all traded them after a box or two of shells, too.
No, not all of us, I've kept mine. Still use it once in a while, too.

I did, however, buy another barrel in .45 Colt, one that does NOT take .410 shells. With the barrels I have, accuracy of the .45 Colt is superior in the .45 Colt only barrel.

Just out of curiosity, I checked some specs and found that the "Enforcer" .30 carbine pistol is about a pound heavier than the Taurus Home Defender, but 2 inches shorter in overall length.

So, a bit heavier and a bit shorter, but 15 shot (or 30?) .30 carbine vs 5 shot .45 Colt / .410 for home defense? I think I would opt for the higher capacity gun, if I had to choose between just those two...

Taurus Judge with a 6" or shorter barrel? Not my preferred item, but it does make some sense. Same gun with a 13" barrel, (and a rail?) NO. Just no.
Not for me, thanks.
