.410 BBB buckshot for self/home defense

[CurlyThomas]

The 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel arrived today. Haven't had a chance to shoot the Mossberg with either barrel. Thanks for the advice.

I personally would not use ANY 410 for personal defense........Lots better stuff out there.

As mentioned , I did a bunch of testing with 3" 410 buckshot loads. They will work just fine for personal/home defense. Depending on the manufacturers, the 5 pellets from a 3" 410 buckshot load are still traveling at the same fps as 9 pellets out of a 2 3/4"12 gauge buckshot load. And one won't notice much difference at home defense ranges between the two.

Yeah but there's plenty of less fortunate people that may only be able to afford to run a 410 that they inheared.
Or pretend it's the year 2036 and 410 is one of the few guns we're still allowed to own.

Or that one is disabled and can't handle shooting a 12 gauge. My wife is one. She is pretty short and has MS, there is no way she can comfortably shoot a 12 gauge. She use to use a youth 20 gauge until she was diagnosed with MS, but the 20 is out too.

All the men in my family seem to come preprogrammed form the factory to die at 65 or earlier so I didn't think of that.
