I like the .410 a lot. i own four of them. One is Springfield’s out of production M6 Survival O/U, one is the Mossberg pump gun, one is a little Stoeger SXS coach gun and the last is an ATI O/U with 26” barrels. The last weighs almost nothing and walking the hilly and dense huckleberry covered uplands of North Mt PA, it is a quick and effective gun for grouse and close pheasant (#6 shot three inch shell)
I have made it a habit to bring either the ATI or the Mossberg along to the Trap range. I am no great Trap shot but I can shoot in the middle teens from the 16 yard line with these two and 2.5” 1/2 oz shot loads.
I load my own on a MEC 600.
