5 Best 410 Shotguns

If you are in the market for a new shotgun, you may want to consider a 410 shotgun. This shotgun is popular among hunters and shooters for its versatility, ease of use, and effectiveness in hunting small game. However, there are a few things you need to consider when buying a 410 shotgun.

Action Type:

Lever Action – Although many people consider it outdated, the lever action shotgun is one of the more enjoyable actions in a 410 shotgun. Whether you are hunting small game or just having a good time on the range the lever action shotgun is a great choice. Due to the tube magazine, a lever action 410 will give you more capacity than the other action types.

Pump Action – The pump shotgun is one of the most popular actions in history. From military use to hunting to self-defense, the pump action is widely considered the best all-around action type. When it comes to 410 shotguns, the pump action is a favorite among small game hunters.

Semi-Auto – Although the semi-auto isn’t as popular as some of the other action types on this list for 410’s there are some available. Used mostly for hunting the semi auto 410 shotgun allows hunters a quick follow up shot if needed.

Break-Open – Break actions cover over/under, single shot, and double barrel 410 shotguns. The oldest action and widely considered the most reliable, the break action, is a classic that is still efficient for both hunting and sport shooting. The downside to break actions is capacity is limited.

Revolver - .410 Revolvers and Pistols have become increasingly popular over the years. These guns typically are capable of shooting 45 Colt or .410 shells for maximum versatility and concealment for self-defense.

Chamber Length:

When choosing your next 410 shotgun you need to think about how you plan on using it. If you plan on hunting turkey, you want to be sure the chamber accommodates a 3” shell. If all you plan on doing is target shooting a 2.5” chamber will be all you need.

Barrel Length:

If you plan on shooting at range, you’ll want a longer barrel. Typically, 410 shotguns for turkey hunting or clay shooting have a barrel length of at least 24 inches.

When choosing your next 410 shotgun, you can rest assured that MidwayUSA has the best selection of .410 shotguns. Look below for our Top 5 .410 Shotgun Choices.

good stuff priced right

I have owned this gun for several weeks, but purchased it from a national chain. I did so because I usually need shims to create cast on and nobody but nobody supplies them until now. Being difficult to fit, I have to have the gun in hand to try out personally, before spending dough. Guess what, I did not need shims this time. I did follow directions and fire a half dozen heavy (factory) loads first. This got everything functioning. Its set up weight and barrel length to be an upland gun so the next ammo choice was the Winchester 8 shot loads available from your local Mart. These went thru without a hitch as fast as I could shoot, just to test the gun. Then I tried some vintage Remington Shur-shots at least 60 years old, probably more. They worked fine. The paper cases smelling delightful as they burned, but splitting their full length due to old age. Patterns consistent with the three chokes supplied, all good performance, except slugs. No success there but I have other guns for slugs and you...
