Anyone own one? Pros? Cons?

I'm sort of an impulse gun buyer except with revolvers well his sort of covers that.........I guess hahahaha.

I've got a ton of shotguns and they all have a purpose, this ones purpose would be SandG's, and probably stay in the safe but the look has seriously grown on me.

Any owners or folks who have shot one want to share??.......shotgun joe is this novelty worth it?

Give it a week and I'm probably going to turn this into a WTB/T thread hahaha.

Btw I did search and found a few threads on legality but no real honest opinions.

I have one and I really enjoy it.

Sure it's a novelty, but it's also a fun shoot.

Mind you, I've only put .45LC through it... but so far, so good.

Have you read the service bulletin on it? What type of shotgun stuff can be fired out of fully rifled barrel other than sabots, unless it is at really close range and you aren't the least bit worried about pattern density.

It is a novelty item, but I can find a lot of other things I would want before it.

My Dad has one, lotsa fun to shoot.
He has a nice 45LC cast load worked up for it that my 10 yo niece hunts with.
We ran some Win Sup Elite HD .410 loads thru it at 15 yds and those discs helds 5 inch groups with the BBs 2-3 inches wider.
I'd set it next to my bed...

2A Sales said they couldn't sell it to me the 45/410 in MD because it falls into the "rotating cylinder shotgun" category. I ended up buying a CJ in .44 Magnum somewhere else. Fun to shoot and is really accurate at 50 Yards, and not bad at 100 yards.

When was that?

There was some confusion early on in the FSA13 confusion, but Rossi/Taurus anticipated this and markets the CJ as a "rifle that accepts shotshells"

The cylinder shotgun classification is more for things like this:

I think I saw one on the wall rack at DSG Crofton yesterday. 2 guys were oogling it.

I'm still like 75% sold on it but not ready to pull the trigger! thanks for the heads up though.

No powder burns on your forearms like the old school versions would give the guys?

LONGSHOT · Oct 19, 2014

look-up .410 handguns,it test all of them and all types of .410 ammo and has the targets and gelitain tests for each. go with S&W Governor.

Mooseman · Oct 19, 2014

I had one and sold it. It was a fun range toy. I will get another one sometime. No, I never got powder burns while shooting it. There is a guard at the cylinder that prevents that.

It's not a pistol and I've shot the governor it's pretty cool except when your dumb dumb partner buys 3 inch shells.......after shot the cylinder doesn't rotate hint hint

That's good, I know that was a concern with powder burns.....my only issue is adding 45 lc to my list of things I own. Which one did you have the stainless or regular and why did you get rid of her......if I may ask.

Mooseman · Oct 19, 2014

I had the blued one. I sold it to a friend to buy the stainless one in a local shop. The stainless one was sold before I went to get it. I will replace it when I come across another stainless one.

Thanks and that's good news! The 650 price tag and 45LC are the only reasons I'm not out searching for one. I'd prefer to buy one used.

Mooseman · Oct 19, 2014

There is a used blued one in a shop up this way. If I remember correctly, it is in the low $500's. If you are interested, PM me and I will send you the shops information.

I appreciate the offer but that's a hike for me. I actually used to live up your way and used to frequent a few gun shops up there but I'm in silver spring now and that becomes a day trip. Maybe if I can get the girl to go christmas shopping in Hagerstown, I can add a visit further west on my list.

Just let me know. They have had it a while now.

Is 650 for stainless?

I got my blued one for somewhere around 525.

StantonCree · Oct 20, 2014

FROM there site stainless runs about 100 more

tsmith1499 · Oct 20, 2014

Believe it or not the Walmart in Mount Airy keeps the blued version in their gun cabinet. My wife really wants one.
