[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1637446, member: 42"] Why the desire to compare a long gun to handgun performance? If you are running a long gun, compare it to other long guns. IIRC, penetration and deep tissue damage is what kills. I haven't seen impressive testing results in terms of reliable penetration/wound cavity from any of the 'magic' .410 loads. At this point if she can't handle a 12 or even a 20, IMHO she'd be better off with a 5.56 variety carbine. Shotguns, more importanty [I]weak[/I] shotguns, are not a solution for marksmanship, strength and confidence issues. Carbines fit small framed folks, are easy to train with, and don't require any high dollar snake oil rounds to perform effectively. All that being said only the OP knows his wife and what she will/won't be able to learn/grow into. (I guess you're getting by now that I'll never be convinced that the .410 is a viable Self/Home defense round, LOL) [/QUOTE]
