My wife bought me a Hatfield 410 shotgun for Christmas. not a bad looking gun wood looks good.A draw back is the trigger pull/hammer has to be about 15-20 pounds. Brake actions is rough too. Does anyone own a 410 for small game? for a $110 gun from walmart.

Hatfield is made by Huglu Firearms.. they make many very good firearms such as CZ

I was at my LGS yesterday and he had 2 Hatfields. 1 a plain barrel and the other had a barrel rib. The one with the rib came up and pointed real well. The break (trigger guard pulls back) is neat. Not a bad gun for the $$.

I have a Stevens single shot, bolt action .410. I gave my Mossberg pump .410 to my son and he gave me the single shot. so far only shot a few paper targets at 30 yards and it pattens real well with Win. AAA loads in 9 shot. I have some 4 shot, slugs, and Win. PDX rounds for critters if the need arises.

I bought a Rossi .410 single shot in 2015. I used it 2 times and it does a fine job on squirrels and is light enough for use as a little backup shotty. Without a rib it is hard to aim or point as I am not really sure where the bead should be. I guess I should ignore the space between the bead and the bump on the receiver and just use the bead to point. I know you point a shotgun but I have had 3 of these single shot type 410s and they are all a PITA to shoot until ya get used to them.

I think a .410 is probably the handiest gun to have around (well maybe a .22). It will take deer with a slug (close range) on down. You can get just about any load for it, Buckshot, 4, 6, 9. And the Win. PDX round with 3 copper discs and some BBs is DEADLY on armadillos. I have dispatched 2, one shot and the go feet up.

I'm saving my pennies for a rossi .22/.410. Who was it that came out with a .22/.410 to over and under?

I like the ribbed model. Bud's has them so next month I will be ordering one. I like em. Thanks for the tip.

Savage was the first, I think, with the over/under model 24 .22/.410. They also made them in 20 ga/.22. I would opt for it over the rossi. Look for an older one with wood. The new ones are composite stock.

I looked at the new Savage 22/410 Model 24 a couple years ago and I did not like the sliver of a forearm. Same reason I opted for the MVP instead of the Marlin model. (?)

I need something to hang on to. And I like the feel of wood. Yep, I have rubber guns but wood is always nicer.

I dont like having to change barrels as the Rossi does. I would look for a Savage (have to be used as they dont make them any more). They made them in a lot of over/under configurations: The Savage now has a composite stock and I dont like them.

For hunting the 410 is most effective 30 yards or less

I love it. I had a Rossi 410 as a camper gun. As you say, very light. I used a triangle file to put a small notch in the top of the receiver as a sight reference. It shot slugs like a rifle out to 25 yard's. If I find another one at a good price, I'm going to buy it.
I sold mine to a couple at church. His wife wanted a gun for his birthday to have in their camper and around the house. The last that I heard, he had killed 11 skunks using slugs
I also have a Mossy 410 Bantom Youth Model 500. I have the original vent rib barrel plus an 18" riot barrel. Great for HD and hunting. It also shoots slugs like a rifle. I have several hundred rounds including shot shells, #4 buck, 000 buck, 1/4 oz & 1/5 oz slugs.
I used to love hunting Quails witha 410 and then fell away from them. After they came out with the 000 buck loads, it resparked my interest and gave me a new reason to own one.

I have a 10.in 45 Colt/.410 barrel for my Thompson Contender pistol that I use for Grouse and Rabbits when I am dear hunting. It is my favorite small game gun, and with a handloaded 45 Colt round with a 300gr Hornady hollow point it will take down a Deer as well.

I had 1 of those for a few years and got a rabbit with it,missed 1 too at real close range,it scattered too much too quick for me so I traded it off.
