Esco, are you shooting 3" 3/4oz Super-X? What kind of effective range?
(Cracks me up that 1100 comes with such a burly recoil pad...)
Thanks.
Dale
ETA: Nah, couldn't even see the butt except for the leather sleeve; figured a shell-holder. That said, I seem to remember the stock pad on the only .410 1100 I've handled was pretty cush, like appropriate for a 12ga slug gun, maybe. Like you said, nice furniture, though, esp for a Remington.
Thanks for the shot info. My only .410 is an o/u 242 with straight tubes, lucky if it patterns out to 15m, and being a break, I'd be a little worried loading 3" anything in it.

OMG. I was not expecting that in the morning. Cosmic, that is WRONG.
I think you will do well with your new business COSMetICS
Perswig, for doves I normally will shoot the Win SuperSport shells. Those are 2.5" shells with a half ounce of shot. I prefer the 7 1/2 shot because it carries a bit more energy at distance.
All of my O/U guns are chambered for that shorter load. However the Rem 1100 that you see in the photo will shoot the 3 inch shell which is fun also and I think that's what was in that first picture with the pigeon.
In truth, you wouldn't normally find me shooting a Remington shotgun in any situation, life threatening or otherwise. (Well, maybe if Cosmic's sister was charging me) But I won a 3 gun set of those Rem 1100s with the nice wood and pimped out by Angleport. So I kept the 410 and 28 Gauge for special occasions like the opening of dove season in the states. Wouldn't last an hour in Argentina. Lol.
To answer your question directly though, with the three inch shell I have no problem consistently dropping doves in the 50-55yrd range with the 7.5s, I usually only shoot a full choke which helps a bit.
I do like the mighty .410. But since there are pistols now chambered in 410, I guess the gun grabbers will be around for it soon.
EDIT: I forgot. In regards to the recoil pad. For any off the shelf gun I shoot I have to extend the stock and raise the comb height usually so the 410 looks even funnier with a leather wrapped recoil pad extender on the back of the stock and a pad strapped on it to raise the comb. It looks like I'm shooting the elephant gun again!

Am I the only one who would ask him, nicely, to make out a quick will naming me as his beneficiary?

Come on now, the obvious answer is to save your friend by legislating an assault weapon ban and a limitation on magazine capacity.

She wants to be loved for what she is, and not for her face.
Cosmic, I hate to break it to you, but the only way TO love her is "not for her face."
Esco, playing hard to get isn't enough. You need armaments, man! That thing charges ya, and, well, you've heard the 21-foot rule.

I have to ask (fascinated horror and all): Does it leave a slime-trail wherever it goes?

Great! Now I won't ever be able to use that product again.
Or any like it.
You've permanently associated that flavor and that image in my psyche.
