Well, I do some rabbit hunting with a Contender .45/.410 with a 10" barrel as do some of my buddies. We have started to do handgun specific small game hunts. I've taken several ruffed grouse too.
Not the reason I thought of this was b/c a friend has a BFR which swings, shoots, and patterns great and it has the 7.5" barrel. The BFRs are really heavy though and I thought a Bisley Blackhawk would be a little lighter and cheaper than a BFR.
( I do not think a .410 is a good self defense load or the judge/governor a practical home defense gun. Specifically talking about small game hunting purposes.)
