There are better options if you\u2019re looking to break clays, kill birds, or slug deer (12GA, anyone?).

Still, the sights might be useful if you\u2019re looking to shoot slugs, and, as the old saying goes, it\u2019s better to have something and not need it than need it and not have it.

I found the tube to be the easiest way\nto load and unload the firearm quickly, but if I just wanted one or two\nadditional shots, the side gate allowed me to get back to shooting without\ntaking the time to pull out the tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s It Good For?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This question always crops up in discussions of firearms chambered in .410. As I mentioned at the top, there are better options for specific applications like bird hunting or home defense. But the .410 has qualities other calibers\/gauges don\u2019t, and the lever-action is a great host for this unique cartridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it\u2019s worth noting that the pellets coming out of a .410 shell are traveling at roughly the same speed as those from a 12GA. For example, the Monarch target load I used during testing, travels around 1200 feet-per-second, and the Winchester 000 buckshot cooks along at 1300 fps. Similar loads chambered in 12GA travel at approximately the same speed \u2013 most are loaded in the 1250 \u2013 1350 fps range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" title=\"Prettiest Survival Shotgun in the World?

The 12GA can fit substantially more pellets in each shell. A .410 shell containing \u00bd oz of #9 shot, for example, translates to about 292 pellets. A 12GA with 1 1\/8 ounces of #9 contains about twice as many pellets \u2013 658. More pellets mean a larger spread and a better chance of hitting what you\u2019re aiming at. A 12GA can also accommodate larger, heavier pellets, which allows for hunting larger game animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"747\" title=\"Prettiest Survival Shotgun in the World?

Henry .410 Side Gate (Full Review)\" target=\"_blank\">knocked on their rears<\/a> from the recoil of a 12GA. That doesn\u2019t happen shooting a .410. The recoil is extremely manageable and will appeal to new shooters, young shooters, and shooters with physical limitations. The recoil is even more manageable out of the seven-pound Henry Side Gate. It\u2019s pleasant to shoot and doesn\u2019t leave you with a sore shoulder after a long afternoon at the clay range. <\/li><li><strong>Small Size: <\/strong>Bigger isn\u2019t always better. You might be able to stash thousands of 12GA cartridges in your backyard bunker, but how many can you fit in your bugout bag? What about on a backpacking trip? The small size of the .410 might decrease its pellet count, but it also makes it easily stowable. For example, a 25-count box of 2 \u00be inch 12GA shotshells has a volume of 49 cubic inches and a weight of 2 pounds, 12 ounces. By contrast, a .410 box of 3-inch shells (so, slightly longer) has a volume of 17.8 inches (less than half that of the 12GA) and weighs 1 pound, 7.4 ounces. In other words, using less space and with about the same weight, you can stow or carry twice as many .410 shells as 12GA shells.<\/li><li><strong>Big Capacity: <\/strong>The .410\u2019s size also allows manufacturers to build shotguns with greater capacity but shorter overall lengths. The OAL of the Henry Side Gate is only 38 inches, but it holds six rounds. Compare that to the five-round capacity and 40-inch OAL of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/winchester-1887-lever-shotgun-350-century-arms-pw87-full-review-cowboy-time-machine\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"henry-410-side-gate\" title=\"Prettiest Survival Shotgun in the World? Henry .410 Side Gate (Full Review)\" target=\"_blank\">Century Arms PW87<\/a> 12GA lever action or the 4-round and 45+ inch OAL of most 12GA pump-action shotguns. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A shotgun is perhaps the most versatile firearm in a survival or wilderness scenario. The .410\u2019s ability to take down small game combined with its packable size, lightweight, and limited recoil make it a great choice as an all-around hunting or self-defense rig in the bush. It\u2019s more than capable of taking down small game, and buckshot or slugs would be an effective deterrent against two-legged threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Henry Side Gate takes advantage of these benefits with a\nreliable action, great trigger, and compact size. If you had to take one gun\ninto the sticks, you could do a lot worse than this Henry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does it Shoot?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Shooting the .410 Side Gate is a pleasure, but it takes practice. Since it\u2019s unloading fewer pellets with each trigger pull, more precision is required to break clays and kill birds. It took me about 50 shells to adjust to the barrel length, sights, and smaller shot patterns. My second shots also tended to be slower since loading a new cartridge required taking my finger off the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"697\" title=\"Prettiest Survival Shotgun in the World?

It\u2019s much shorter than most shotguns, which makes it less cumbersome\nin the field. It points naturally, and that trigger helps keep shots on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The barrel does not include a choke and users are not able to install their own. As you can see from the images below, this limits the effective range of this firearm. I used 1\/2oz of no. 6 Remington and no. 9 Monarch shot, and in both instances, the patterns exceeded 30 inches beyond 20 yards. Moving into the 5 and 15-yard range, no. 9 patterns shrunk to about 16 inches and 5.5 inches, respectively, and the no. 6 patterns shrunk to 14 inches and 5 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"249\" title=\"Prettiest Survival Shotgun in the World?

Slugs were fired from 50 yards.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Winchester 000-buckshot produced roughly the same effective range. At 5 and 15 yards, the three pellets landed in a 4-5.5-inch pattern, and at 20 yards it expanded to 8.5 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buckhorn sights come in handy while shooting slugs. I\nwas able to hit a 10-inch steel plate consistently at 75 yards (shooting from a\ntable), and putting the gun in a sled produced 4-5-inch groups at 50 yards. I\u2019ve\nnever taken a whitetail with a .410 slug, so I can\u2019t speak from personal\nexperience. But I\u2019ve seen it done, and it stands to reason that it would work\nfine if you can get close enough. Within 30-40 yards, I\u2019d have no qualms about\nusing the Henry Side Gate .410 on a whitetail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your results may vary, of course, depending on which load of birdshot, buckshot, or slugs you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to keep in mind that even though the .410 is often given to beginners due to its manageable recoil, it can be a challenging cartridge to shoot accurately. Especially without the option to install a choke, hitting game birds on the wing will take patience and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"642\" title=\"Prettiest Survival Shotgun in the World?
