What is the value oof a .410 gauge shotgun
A "410" is the smallest gauge of shotgun.
There have been several handguns made that fire .410 shotgun shells- most recently the Taurus Judge. By the way, .410 is actually a caliber of shotgun, not a gauge. A .410 shotshell is about 67 gauge- but no one uses that designation.
Nothing.
.410 bore is .410 inches 28 gauge is .550 inches 20 gauge is .615 inches 16 gauge is .662 inches 12 gauge is .729 inches 10 gauge is . 775 inches
The 410 should have a smaller frame than the 12 gauge. For $100-$150, you should be able to get a whole 410 Champion.
Yes! The .410 gauge shotgun (same caliber as the .45 Long Colt) was the alternate round (.22 & .410) in the US Air Force's survival rifle for downed pilots. As a matter of fact, Taurus manufacturing's newest revolver (the "Judge") is stoked with .45 Long Colt & .410 gauge. Choose your ammunition wisely. Bird shot is good for home defense, larger shot for close work outside and the slug is great for longer ranges. The shotgun is the 'thinking' person's weapon because it is so versatile with all the various flavors of ammunition available.
It depends on the shell you fire.
The nominal bore of a .410 shotgun is.410 inch. Which is why it is properly called the .410 bore instead of the .410 gauge. In Europe it is sometimes called the 12mm, which is an inaccurate designation as a .410 bore has an actual diameter of approximately 10.4mm by metric measure. If the .410 had been named in the traditional fashion, by the number of lead balls .41 inch in diameter needed to make one pound, it would be about a 67-68 gauge.
Hell no. .410 is not a gauge it is a caliber. True gauge is a measurement of the number of lead balls of bore diameter that constitute a pound. The .243 bullet is a lot smaller than the diameter of a .410 barrel. There are some .410's that can shoot 45 colts but not all can.
