I do not own one nor have I shot one. The reviews I have read show that it really is intended as a close quarters gun (accuracywith the 45 Colt ammo is not that great). The American Rifleman has had at least two reviews of this firearm. Taurus now offers a version capable of shooting a3" .410 shotshell. Ifa close quarters handgunis what you are looking for it may be a good choice for you. I think it would make a great snake gun.
