Welcome aboard Donald. I think you made a fine choice.

The Model 410S is the bright stainless steel/alloy version of the Model 410 and is the "Value Line" equivalent of the premium Models 4003 (Made 1991-1993) and 4003TSW (made 2000-2003). The 410S was manufactured from 2003 to 2007.

I have one myself with the factory-offered Crimson Trace laser just like this one:


I also have a black "as-new" Model 410 without a laser which was a super deal that I couldn't pass up after paying an awful lot of $$$ for my 410S w/laser. Aside from the few plastic parts on each, I have zero complaints.

Being close to the last of the 3rd Gens made before they were discontinued (excluding occasional new releases, these are the "newest" of the breed)... and also legal to buy & transfer through dealers here in moonbat Massachusetts (they are on our "list")... the "Value Line" guns hold a unique attraction for finicky me. Excluding a couple CS models, eight of my last eleven 3rd Gen acquisitions have been "Value Line" guns.

One attraction for me is that "pre-ban" 11-round magazines are plentiful and generally pretty darn cheap. And if you don't live in a moonbat state, post-ban 11-round magazines are even cheaper. This seems to be the result of lots & lots of recent cop trade-ins of 4003/4006 series guns and magazines.

I'm also an alloy frame kind of guy. Steel is great but give me an alloy-framed gun and nine times out of ten I'll be much happier.

So enjoy it in good health and know that you made an excellent decision.
