Like many, my first gun was a .410. This could be what starts the trip down the rabbit hole, but as long as you know its limitations, and have some reasonable shotgun skills, the .410 can be one of the most fun guns to shoot.
These days I kick myself, when I think of the .410 Parkers I could have picked up, for what now seems like chump-change. Though I can't afford a Parker in .410, I have a lot of fun every dove season with my little Ithaca Lefever.
