The .410 shotgun round was designed for children and recoil-sensitive people to hunt small game with. Its ballistics are totally inadequate for use as a self defense round. And in order to chamber the .410's the gun itself is far longer and bulkier than a conventional revolver. It only holds 5 rounds, you cant use speed loaders with it, and the empty .410 casings are too long for the ejector rod so you have to manually extract each one by hand. If I owned one I would load it with .45 Long Colt hollowpoints for defense, but if you are going to carry a revolver that big and heavy it ought to be a 6-shot .357 Magnum instead.</blockquote>
