[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 1018736, member: 7292"] Having not owned one personally but having done a ton of research for my father-in-law about these guns, I'll add my $0.02. The biggest drawback to these guns in general is their accuracy. The idea of being able to shoot both 45LC and .410 sounds cool, but it turns out to be not so practical. The short barrel makes the shotgun rounds ineffective at any range beyond 12 feet or so with extreme pellet spread. Then the longer chamber makes the 45LC bullets where they have to "jump" a long distance to get into the forcing cone. This hurts their accuracy. I've heard a lot of reports that put accuracy in the 10-12" circle range at 25 feet. I suppose that's good enough to be in center mass if your aim was perfect. However, try to engage a target at, say 30 feet, and mis-aim just a bit and you might get a complete miss!!! I can imagine the 3" chambers, while being better for the shot shells since they can hold more pellets, would suffer even worse in the accuracy department. [/QUOTE]
