The rifled barrel makes this worse by imparting spin to the wad, which causes a wide dispersal of pellets at short range. The .410 round was designed for children and small people to hunt birds and squirrels and rabbits with, it was never intended to be a self defense cartridge. The 45 Long Colt round is a whole different story, it has a 120+ year track record of succesful use in law enforcement and self defense. While there are better and more modern choices available, I would not hesitate to rely on a .45 Long Colt to defend my home with.</blockquote>
