Let me start by saying that this is a Car gun and for that purpose it is Excellent. The barrel is rifled so when firing a .410 shell, the shot spreads out very quickly. This is good in tight quarters like the driver's seat of your car, however with the .410 shell, this is not much of a self defense weapon at anything farther than about 10 feet. You may just make the BG mad with a few pellets hitting him and the rest peppering the wall all around him.
If you load with 45lc rounds, this is a formidable weapon for self defense, however with only a 5 round capacity and such a large weapon, concealability is not really practicle. Especially when you can carry an M&P, Glock, Springfield XD or other high cap pistol.
This is a car gun that is perfect for any carjack situation and i recommend it for just that, keep this in the car. It keeps me from having to remove and reholster my CCW weapon all the time. It is my recommendation for a car gun, perfect weapon in that capacity, but not a lot more.
The selection of 2 1/2 inch .410 shells is very limited, I would recommend #4 shot. Anything less is not powerful enough to do what you need it to do. I load 3 .410 shells and then two 45lc shells should I need the extra firepower. This is a real plus with this weapon, you can vary the loads in a single cylinder at the same time.
