The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I have just been having a look around the web and found a site advertising vermin control , in the gallery section theres a Scott arms .410 O/U shotgun pistol , I thought these were limited for use as humane destruction , the person here says they are good for vermin in and around buildings ,maybe .
The other thing I saw , a comment on the use of a 12 bore shotgun " to fire into the air with a sensible backstop " what would that be a cloud or a passing 747 :55:
Looks like a well presented site with plenty of info .

Old website before ACPO declared 410 revolvers Section 5?

Here's a question, then, based on that. Dave, tell me to sod off if you feel like I'm jacking the thread.

Could you have a revolving .410 long barrel pistol?

Like the long barrel revolvers and pistols in .38 and .44, but chambered for a .410 - you'd be able to get at least 4-5 shots out of one. Wonder why no one's thought of it.

I dont think so , it looks very upto date and modern with lots of coloured photos and info .

Something along these lines you mean http://www.taurususa.com/gun-selector-r ... ?series=41 :shakeshout:

If it had a shoulder stock and long barrel no reason why not .

Dave

ps I was talking from a practical view not on a legal requirment , I seem to remeber years ago seeing a western style revolver with a skeleton butt stock , nowadays it would have to have a long barrel and section 1 shotgun

I would have thought if it has a magazine holding more than two cartridges it would become S5 so a revolving magazine would be out of the question as preventing the magazine from being swapped out would be all but impossible.

From the Rossi Website...

I believe you can have this on a Sec.1 ...(Might be wrong)... If you know of a UK dealer that imports them. It's takes 45 Colt and 410 Shotgun. Having a rifled barrel makes it a Firearm.

Bloomin' 'eck. I bet the gas-escape from the barrel/cylinder gap is enough to burn you when you fire .45-70

Revolver shotguns are S5. Some importer a while back brought in the Taurus Judge for humane dispatch. A little while later they were decreed to be S5 even though the barrel was rifled, they were designed to shoot also .410, and thus a revolving shotgun. PITA non the less.....

... so I can own a self-loading Section 1, 12 bore shotgun, with a detachable box magazine, but a revolving shotgun that fires the .410 is Section 5?

Unfortunately, you are correct. (Unless chambered for 9mm rimfire, ie garden gun).
