Stan: If somebody is competent with a .410 (as you clearly are) then more power to them. I'm not saying you shouldn't (at least while this is still a free country) and I certainly understand the appeal, but in a very general reference to humanity, most folks either can't shoot one effectively or probably shouldn't (unless their skill with it is highly evolved). As you mention, the .410 is at the extreme.
Like many folks (most?), I'm purely looking at my own situation and use. I've used my own 28/.410 combo gun to good effect and I've no plans to discard it. I'd suspect that someday it will become even more useful to me. For most of us here (perhaps all?), "want" equates to "need" and if we're lucky or blessed (or both) we get to exercise those wants. I've thoroughly enjoyed the process that got me to this point and I hope (& pray) that I get to keep doing it for many more years, and after all that... I fervently hope that my progeny gets to enjoy those same freedoms.
