.410 Shotgun for Backpacking

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

I’m confused. Suppressors are legal but a threaded barrel isn’t?

Yep, can't buy a new pistol with a threaded barrel due to 2023 HB 1240

I have a little old 410 snake charmer. Holds I think 5 rounds in the buttstock. *not my pic but same gun*

How about a Taurus Judge .410 pistol?

Reminds me of my CC class. One student reminded you of Dobber in the show, Coach. He shot a Taurus, and shot a decent round for the class. The instructor commented that he shot good, and the guy asked instructor if he’d like to shoot it. Instructor replied, “No, I don’t want to contaminate my hand, with a Taurus”.

Walther P22 with a 3.42" barrel

That’s the problem. I have 1 and a browning buckmark. Can hit a beer can w buckmark and then some.

Get a contender or one of them 410 judge revolvers.

There is a snake charmer version that has a stock on it. Would be a perfect for backpacking short range bird getter. Works great for snakes too

It holds four or five shells in the stock also

You could pick up a TC contender 410

I've been in your exact position. The older Rossi 410s are likely the best bet for price, weight, simplicity. I'd add a red dot to make it easier to aim. I had one, and it weighed like 3.5 pounds — was simple to takedown, too. Check out this auction link below.

That said, a 4-pound English double would be the ultimate for me. Expensive, sure, but it would be a family heirloom.

Yildiz TK36

The humble single barrelled shotguns may not be the height of sophistication, but they certainly have their uses; Bruce Potts checks out the neat little Yildiz TK36…

These look interesting to me.

Wonder if the TBAC takedown 22 suppressor I have in jail will help at all.

I'm changing my answer. I like this Charles Daly better than the Iver Johnson:

I wish the 28 gauge single shot came in a 20" barrel with a wooden stock and interchangeable chokes.

In a similar position. Debating between a takedown 10/22 or a small shotgun for AK grouse when Caribou hunting.

I just bought a Rossi Tuffy (turkey model with 26" barrel)...but I would think the regular tuffy would be a sweet little gun. I believe it is 31" overall and like 3lbs. can hold 8 shells right on the stock. ticks every box I would look for in a light backcountry gun. I am not a fan of the .410 pistols.

I’ve been looking at those at well. Priced very reasonably. Wonder how they pattern at 25yards..

I have used the heck out of my Rossi Tuffy (and its predecessor). I love that little gun. I’ve probably killed a dozen turkeys with it and countless grouse. It throws a very good pattern with lead and tss shot. The short barrel only has a fixed choke, whereas the longer barrel has screw in chokes.
