410 pistol

I have 2; a judge by taurus and a public defender by the same manufactor. 5 shot revolver. never miss. one for home protection and one for concealled carry

AC from the start of my families farming career till the end!

Tom,
I have shot a DB, but just a couple rounds just to get a feel for it. the cartridge just protruded the end of the barrels slightly. Small handle, hard to control.
With all due respect, i'm not sure why anyone would want one for carry. With DB you only get 2 shots. If you go for a revolver, you have a hefty hunk of iron in your packet. I'm not sure what is available for slugs for the .410, so I can't speak to that.
But, I can say, according to a study I read awhile back, there is marginal difference in effectiveness in close range shootouts among common calibers, with the exception of the .22. I don't think the .410 was included, but I would suspect the .410 wouldn't score significantly better than the other big calibers, .45, .44, etc. In the study, the big bores were no better than .380, 9mm, 10mm, .40 etc.

With that in mind, if self defense CC is what you have in mind, I would go with a subcompact 9mm or .380.

I carry a Rugar LCP .380. I wear cargo pants, I keep a folded bandana between the gun and the outside of the pocket to break up its lines. You cant tell I have it. I have 7 rounds Hornaday Critical Defense 90 gr.

The gun is light, controllable.

However, if you are looking for something to carry in snake country...….

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

Never shot one, but wouldn't mind running a few rounds through one. You can get some good self defense loads in .410. The key to having a good self defense weapon is being able to access it very quickly. Become familiar with the laws in each state you plan to carry, a lot of times law enforcement, especially the locals, are not aware of the changes to the laws.

Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

Sister in law carries one.
She's very happy with it.

Anybody have 1? Anybody used 1? Thinking about buying 1 and keeping it handy when the old gal and I go on the road. I do have the permits to carry. Will have to check the state rags and see if the paperwork I have is good in southern states.

	check your state (all states) where you might intend to carry it. some states (NE used to) consider them a "short shotgun" and there fore consider them illegal. they will confistcate it, plus hang you with the charges. I don't know if NE has changed the law on them here or not yet.

	Like Lou said. Shot one just so I could say I had. Believe it was a Leinad with 11" barrel. Won't do it again. For self defense, would work better as a club than a pistol.
	Looking at the past to see the future. '53 WD, '53 WD45, WD snap coupler field cultivator, #53 plow,'53 HD5B dozer Duct tape.... Can't fix stupidity. But will muffle the sound of it!

	I still have a .45acp 1911 near me in bed, goes to safe spot when I get up but comes back to bed at night. And no I am not paranoid, have tweakers in the region and they tend to choose Old People to pick on, almost hoping one shows up.

	TC Contender has one that will shoot 410 shells or .45 Long Colt. Friend of mine had a double barrel derringer that did the same, proud to say I somehow had the sense to never shoot it. I think a 3" shell would have stuck out past the end of the barrel.
