well a .410 with “00” buck you only get like three balls in the cartridge. up close it would do damage for sure, but not a ranged gun by any means. snub nose isn’t too accurate with the .410 shell, longer 6" barrel though i hear is. However with the Speer GD .45 rounds we were getting some tight grouping.
Yeah it’s an ugly gun, but for a home protection piece I don’t think it can be beat for simplicity, power, and packaging. plus it’s dirt cheap and easy to shoot(low recoil, low trigger pull weight) so it’s a perfect gun for wives too :lol
