Default RE: 410 pistol?

Down wind,

I have shot the one that outdoorsmen mentioned. It's called the Thunder 5.

I thought it was a real POS. The spent .410 casings don't extract for beans because they expand too much. When you're shooting .45 LC, the gun is not accurate at any distance past the end of my, well, it's not accurate. For rabbit hunting, the contender would be a better choice.

The Thunder 5 is a waste of time and money, IMNSHO. Also, somebody mentioned this as a great home defense gun. It's not accurate w/ .45 and you can't reload very easily/quickly with .410. So, I wouldn't want to stake my life on it. Besides, why buy a gimmick to fail at a job that a good .357 wheel gun(like an SP101 or 686) or a good auto (Glock, H&K, 1911, SIG)can do so much better.
