I have a Rossi single barrel .410 shotgun. I never use it for hunting as I have a Remington 1100 for that. As it is the Rossi is just too long and unwieldy to be useful for HD. I have thought about having the barrel cut down to 18 1/4 inches and the stock cut down so the overall length is 26 1/4.

That should make it much handier for HD. And I would not be depending on it alone. I have my S & W Model 637 in my pocket as I type this. Also my Ruger P89 and my P97 are placed in easily accessible locations if needed.

What does everybody think of the idea?
