I see that there are Heritage 28 gauge SXS for a decent price along with 410.  I was thinking of picking one up and doing an SBS/AOW Pistol grip very short length shotgun.  12 gauge is great but not fun to shoot as a handgun SBS, A 410 seams reasonable lots of ammo choices and even self defense but its tiny BUT very manageable recoil.

I saw they have a 28 gauge, and while a nice size for handling, the cartridges are not commercially defensive - mostly an upland bird gun round but I don't see why I couldn't load some #2 or other Buck loads.  Give me something to do and play with.

I load a "buckshot" round for 28 gauge that works pretty well in my CZ Redhead.
Check IM.

A 20 gauge might do it, although stout 20 gauge Buck you will feel!  

I king of was thinking of trying a 28Gauge merely to make it "dainty" or small without being excessively tiny and awkwardly narrow the way some 410 doubles do - but a 20ga might do.  OR maybe just circle back to a 12 gauge and stick to "mini shells".
