When I was a young Marine with a new wife and frequently deployed her house gun was a Mossberg 500 in 410. The 1/5 ounce Remington slug traveling at 1830 fps was impressive against the practice targets we used. While the 410 isn't anyone's ideal tool I never worried about the stopping power of shotshells or slugs. Later as she was around guns more she learned to shoot a GP100 in 357 Mag better than me!
The shotgun also came with a pistol grip as an accessory. I only used it when the 410 came along as a boat gun in my canoe or brother's jon boat. (Where Legal) Its a lot of fun easing along the backwaters in a southern swamp taking a few squirrels and fishing at the same time. Some interesting meals are made when you bring home small game and catfish or bluegills after a morning on the river. I had a friend in South Carolina bring home squirrels, catfish, and a feral hog all in the same afternoon.
