I'm sitting here with my Mossberg 500 .410, and I'm just really impressed at how svelte and ergonomic this gun is. I really like shouldering and shooting this gun. The only thing that could make it better would be if it could also shoot a better slug round than the .410 offering....something like the .45Colt.

(Before anyone says it, I am NOT going to load my Mossberg with Colts. I know it's limitations)

My question is....what would it take design-wise for Mossberg to offer the 500 in .410/.45Colt? Also, would such a model be a good seller in today's market?

Thanks in advance for the input.
