I think its an interesting concept, especially if they lock up tight. I'd expect the accuracy of a pistol?

Anybody heard of them?

I've seen something similar to that but can't remember who or where.

The survival guy that did the stupid show with that barefoot weirdo named Cody is a big fan of them. Can't remember his name. He has a youtube channel.

Here he is:

Different brand though.

Yeah, those type of things have been around for several years in one form or another. Accuracy is generally so-so, usually the reason they're not around long.

There used to be some shotgun tubes called the "Four-tenner." Some skeet shooters used these in breech loading 12s to shoot in .410 events. They were about a foot long, and had extractors. I refereed for several who used these, and they appeared to throw pretty crappy patterns, though a .410 with #9 shot at 20 yards is never very satisfactory on crossing shots.

Like most "make-dos," I suspect these adapters will be clumsy and problematic.

Yep, Savage had the "four tenner" tubes. I remember them from their catalogs.

could the bullet bounce around in the barrel and mess up a choke? *do those break opens have a choke?*

I have a .22 single shot that appears to be a .410 into which a gunsmith fitted a .22lr sleeve; does that count?

You bet! They have a long way to go before they exit the muzzle and the harder the recoil, the better the chance. That's why the "chamber" adapters never caught on. If they were full-length barrel adapters like for changing gauges in shotguns, that would be different.
