Been looking at these for a while now. Anyone got anything to say about them?
45/410 shotgun shells

What would you use it for?
I don't think its a good choice for a self defense gun but...
It's enormous and heavy, and the self-defense ammo choices in those calibers are a bit limited compared with something more common.
Why is that? Just out of curiosity.
.45 long colt. Cowboy round.not .45 you mean .44

I kinda like them. And from several yards away, the spread with a .410 shell is about perfect... five projectiles cut a clean line across the paper torso, it's brilliant. Potentially, I'd say, great for self-defense. Remember what kind of range we're talking about, vast majority of self-defense shootings occur over a distance of what, less than ten feet?
A .410 shooting slugs is almost as powerful as a .44mag.They are all the hot new rage around here, but I never could see any fun/usefulness in them.
The one I shot wasn't even fun to shoot IMO, and a 410 wouldn't inspire much confidence in me.
picked one up sunday, havent shot it yet but i fucking love it, feels sexy, it is big and heavy, bigger and heavier than it looks in pictures even next to my bersa it doesnt look to big but it really is, if you have kitten hands your not going to take to it well, i on the other hand have big lion hands so im cool. i got hornady 45 COLT 225 GR FTX LEVERevolution ammo its basically a really big hollow pointhere is a picture of the actual gun![]()
