410 mistake?

[chrisf]

Well I bought a 410 about 7 days ago, It was more of a impulse buy. I have 3 more days until I can pick it up and Im not even excited like I usually am. Its one of those 410 rossi tuffys 1 shotter. My question is, Is it good for anything or do I just put it in the closet and maybe one day give it to my child as a first shotgun? Its one thing if the dang ammo was cheap, But thats not even the case. Home defense? One shot of 410 then use it as a bat? Thanks guys.

Hunt deer with slugs. I like the 410 for small birds as well. Great for getting new shooters int SG's

Good for making fond memories with your kids. I haven't shot a .410 in decades, but the most exciting time I ever had with a gun was with my dad's breach loading over/under .410 & .22lr when I was 10 years old. Thread is making me want to get one.

Perfect snake gun, in case you ever run into any rattlers.

It's a fun toy. Take it out into the desert and play with it.

I aqquired one for cheap. Its from the 50`s or 60`s workes great. I take it out to the dessert when i`m skeet shooting. Its alot of fun but yeah the ammo is to expencive.

.410s are just plain fun to shoot! Of course, on a trap or skeet field, they are know more as an expert's gun than a beginer's gun.

All great reasons posted above. You didn't make a mistake.

I used a 410 for quail hunting for years--wish I still had the gun it was a little Savage over/under

Fond memories with a 410, first time grandpa finally handed it to me and my brother and said go get some quail for supper. Even to this day it's one of the guns I love to take out and grab a few birds with.

I wanted a 410 nice shooter, but anything that goes bang I'm a sucker for! Is this the same one the sell at Big 5?

As above had mentioned, the little 410 you bought is a fun gun! A snake gun. Just take it to the desert and have fun with it!! Look online for some Rio ammo in a 7 1/2 shot, those should be around $75.00 for 250 rounds. Here is a link for ya!!!

It's a new gun.

Go out and shoot the heck out of it.

It has just as much place in your collection (or to start your collection) as anything else.

Nothing wrong with 410's.

It's a horrible gun, you'll hate it. I'll give you $40 bucks for it just so you won't feel so bad

got a single shot make sure you buy one of those elastic rifle shell holders for the stock
