Anyone shoot one of these?
How bad is the recoil with the 410?

I haven't heard of the shells sticking like that. I didn't know that they made .410 ammo specifically for handguns.
I have not fired the S&W, but have fired a couple examples of the Judge in 3 and 6 inch models. Recoil was not bad at all. A Buckshot load had a little more snap to it.
I have one the only 410 that I've put thru it was mild #6 loads didn't feel much more than a tame 38 special load to
I have one, they are 2.5in only on the Smith unlike the Taurus that you can get either a 2.5 or 3in. I thought the recoil is pretty mild, alot less than I was expecting.
I have a derringer in .45 Colt / .410 - 2.5inch. Heavy .45 Colt ammo really lets you know you shot something hot. .410s are wimpy.
I like my shotguns with stocks and 12 ga. at least 20ga.
Meybe I need a barrel for the Bond Arms, if only I could figure out what for.
Shot around half a dozen governors and got great groups with both ACP & 45LC. Likes so much bought one. With the 410 slugs, there is more noticeable recoil.
Taurus was OK with shotshells, but had problems with 45 LC loads keyholing. S&W is far superior & it is not a Taurus.
