Charles Daly Honcho Triple .410

[Jimboheme]

I've been looking at this home defense shotgun in a .410 so it'd be an easier shot for my gal but I can't seem to find a great review on it. I guess it's too new and I definitely don't want to be the test dummy. There are certain purchases I wish I had waited. One would think that with barely any moving parts that it would be a slam dunk. Anyone have anything to say about this thing?

Interesting concept. Stupid pricing in that link.

I don't understand the description of the trigger. Would all the barrels fire at once?

Edit: I think I get it. One firing pin on a circular plate that rotates 120 degrees with each trigger pull
much like a revolver cylinder.

As the owner of an AOW and an NRA Shotgun Instructor, I don't know if a pistol grip shotgun is the most practical HD weapon, they are challenging to shoot accurately and definitely not the gun for an inexperienced shooter.
I would recommend a 20 ga pump or semi auto at 1/3 of the cost, add a light to it and most importantly, get your girlfriend to the range to actually shoot and practice.
IMHO, .410 kind of sucks for HD, a load of .410 000 buck only has 3-4 pellets so at close ranges, it will essentially have little to no spread. and she only has 3-4 chances of hitting a target to stop a threat. .20 ga is far more practical
Also, if recoil is a real issue, get something (Beretta or Mossberg) and put an SGA Magpul buttstock on it and then add a Limbsaver. Seriously small recoil and she might actually be able to hit her target.

If you are concerned about her ability to cycle a pump, you could get her a side by side or OU .20 ga? Only two shells instead of five to seven for a proper HD shotgun though

$1,600 is ridiculous as well for what is essentially a novelty gun. A decent HD shotgun with a light and laser on it would be well under half the cost. Spend the rest on ammo and getting her to the range to train, and ideally a tactical shotgun class or two.
