Why not the 410/.45 combo ? You don't have to load .45 Colts in it. You also can't have a smoothbore pistol--it's against federal law. Here's one if you change your mind--It's both .45 and .410 (but you don't have to load it with .45 unless you want): Taurus International Manufacturing Inc

| Senior Member | My brother used to have a .410 boot gun, it was a break-action, single-shot, smoothbore shotgun with about 12"-15" barrel. Wasn't a hack-job, it was a factory made gun from the 1800's, can't remember the make. He sold it at a gun show years ago because it was illegal as hell to own now, I'm sure he got screwed royally on the price, considering the actual value of something like that.

Yes I know something about them, they're a bad idea that sounds good to a lot of people who should know better. The widespread appeal of such a useless pairing between a handgun and the .410 is a mystery. It's not good for hunting and other cartridges are better for defense. I don't see it's advantage for any application in a pistol. Last edited by Taurus Fan; 05-10-2008 at 07:39 PM. | |

| Registered User | The .410 pistol is expensive to buy, expensive to shoot due to ammo costs, and rather poor in performance. It's a toy. Most of us like toys, and as long as you're considering it for a toy, you won't be disappointed. As far as performance is concerned, it's not that much better than a Speer shot shell in a 45 or a 44. |
