I had been wanting one for a while and just picked one up at last weekend's gunshow here. I got the 3" barrel version that can chamber 2.5" .410 shotgun shells. Havn't shot it yet but am looking forward to it. This will be my snake gun to take hiking as well as an anti-carjacking gun.
I checked the Taurus website and they are apparently coming out with two new models this year - an alloy frame lightweight model and a 3" chamber version for .410 magnum shells. I may have to get another!
The versatility just seems awesome - loaded with 5 shotshells in anything from no.4 to no.8 shot for snakes - loaded with no.4 or 000 buckshot for self-defense/anti-carjacking (or .45 LC). The 2.5" .410 shells hold three .36 cal 000 balls in a row while the 3.0" shells hold five - nasty capability with one shot sending out the equavilent of three to five shots from a .380 ACP.
...also a good article over at www.gunblast.com that first led me to this gun.
