I had one, and gave it to my Mom to use when she had to live on her own. When I first bought it I had to send it back to have the cylinder realigned because it was hanging when shooting the 45s.. Took about a month to get it back, but it worked fine after that.. For an up close in home defense or from you car using 410 number 4's it is wicked or as a snake gun it would be fine..I wouldn't use it with the 45s as a defense gun though.
