Not too long ago there was a bear killed by someone that was in the guys shed. He shot it with one shot with a .410 shotgun and dropped it on the spot.

But at the same time don't under estimate the power of the shotguns using the slugs too. The 12ga slug is over 400gr's in weight. I'm not sure about the 410 slug yet. One more thought ever think about bird hunting with a 410 revolver (close shots?) It would be great for snakes too. Bill
A 410 shotgun and a 410 pistol are not the same animal. A 410 shotgun can shoot the same valocity as a 12 ga., all things equal. I have seen deer killed with a 410 shotgun, no problem. My nephew killed a 150 lb pig with a short barreled Cobra derringer 410 pistol. One shot with a slug, up close. lol If you have ever shot a 410 Contender with a short light barrel you know it will put the hurt on your hand. If these new 410 pstols are easy on the hand I wouldn't mind having one for play, snakes and such.
