I get real misty eyed around .410 shotguns myself. My favorite is the DeHaan S2 with 30" IC&M barrels pictured below. Weighing 6lbs, it balances and points very well and is deadly on decoyed doves around a waterhole. It keeps company with a model 42, Huglu redhead O/U with 30" IC&M barrels, and (forgive me) a Remington 1100 Sporting .410. Currently, I am considering an AYA 453 .410 with 29" barrels. At the Houston Gun Show once, I had the pleasure of handling an original Winchester 21 in .410 and, as much as I love 21's, wouldn't have one...what a fencepost! At the other end of the spectrum, a friend has a London best hammer gun .410 with 28" barrels that weighs 4lb. 11oz. What the hell do you do with that.....shoot squirrels?
