Wow!.. I've been waiting for this gun since SHOT show, and I found it in the gunshop today when I went to pick up some other guns. I have wanted a semi .410 for a long time, I have always thought that one would be fun and a viable home defense piece. I couldn't resist getting my hands on an AK .410.
I fired about 30 rounds through it this afternoon, and it functioned flawlessly with 3" shells, both #4 and 7.5 shot. It shot well with the 2.75" Slugs I bought, but it wouldn't feed them. I believe they are meant for 3" shells only, but I couldn't find any 3" slugs today. I fired them at a Target at 50 yards and they hit in a nice group, but significantly below point of aim.
The #4 shot patterned well at 20 yards, keeping all pellets in the body of a BT-5A silhouette.
The 7.5 also patterned pretty tightly, but I think it could still be fun at the skeet range. The full choke might be a little much for the fast movers from the center, but it would certainly be worth the looks I'd get from the standard Skeeters....
Rapid fire was fun and effective on widely spaced bowling pins at 15 yards. Recoil is about the same as a .22 rimfire.
I'll be trying it out on Clay targets at the Celebrity Shoot This weekend.
Regardless of the "supply vs. Demand" issues, The way these things are priced, You should be able to buy one for around $250, and I think you'd enjoy it every bit as much as any other $250 gun.
