Kel Tec doesn't listen to popular misconceptions that have been repeated ad naseum for so long they've become truth. That's why they still make a .32 pistols and no longer a .380, that's why they did a bullpup shotgun when every FUDD is clinging to his traditional bird gun with wood stocks and 3 rd tubes.
3 inch .410's are overlooked and while they're not going to throw as much shot as 20 or 28 gauge, they're not incapable. The clear benefit for .410 is in a home defense role with its limited recoil and decent effect on target. 5 000 buck pellets do a darn good job and the lightweight bullpup design is going to make quick shooting a breeze.
And it looks as tho the price is going to be around $350. Given the poor reviews I see of the Mossberg .410 pumps, I would pick a Kel Tec .410 in a heartbeat over anythign else.
