Hey TFL,
I know this gun doesn't have the highest praises as a revolver given the many other great models out there. I completely understand that shooting .410 out of it doesn't have any real value, even with some of the specialty loads for it. I love revolvers, and really like the idea of this one because of its size and ability to shoot both .45 acp and .45 long colt. The idea of being able to shoot both rounds is appealing to me in a similar way to having a .357 to shoot both that and .38 special. I'm looking at it as an option for a backup hunting gun and camping gun due to the calibers it shoots, and the gun's smaller size. I know its weight is right around 30 oz, making it heaver than pretty much all of the compact .45 acp semi autos I've looked at for this purpose, but it has the addition of firing .45 lc. Is this gun a viable option for a backup hunting gun, or does it just fulfill a niche?
Thanks in advance.
