I had one, and agree with your assessment. I sold it cheap to a buddy who used it on his winter trapline to kill animals in traps. As odd as it sounds, it actually was about perfect for that job! Indestructable, handy & packable on the snowmobile. A .410 slug at spitting distance will efficiently kill a wolf without too much penetration. The trigger lever can be used at -40° with mittens on. He shot a lot of animals in traps with the .22 barrel, and some ruffed & spruce grouse with small birdshot from the .410 or using .22 solids and body shots. Trappers can't easily get a permit to carry a handgun on a trapline in Canada, so it was a reasonable alternative for him. I was glad be rid of it, he was glad to have it.
Thanks for that info. I always thought it was interesting just from it's design and use but never had one. Or had a need for one.
