The Henry 410 is one of the more popular options for a lever-action 410. There's something special about lever guns that makes the Henry 410 lever action the perfect option to round out your shotgun collection.
The Henry 410 is a great addition to your collection because it brings the light 410 utility to the lever-action platform.
Not every situation requires a pistol caliber or larger. Sometimes a smaller shotgun load is all that's needed. Henry's lever actions are as functional as they are good-looking, and their 410 options are no different.
Whether it's pest control or target practice, the Henry 410 will do the job.
While 410 ammunition is fairly common, it is not as common as 12-gauge. But this doesn't mean it's not useful.
A 410 has a lower recoil, smaller payload, and generally lighter gun than its larger counterparts. This makes it perfect for those who are smaller or who just don't want a heavy gun.
The lower recoil also makes secondary shots easier to do by helping you keep your sights on target.
A 410 shotgun can be used for hunting, pest control, target practice, and introducing new shooters. Generally, 410 is used to hunt turkey or coyotes, while others use it for smaller birds and squirrels. This makes it ideal for most farm needs since the firearms are usually light and easily carried.
Within normal home defense distances, 410 can be used for home defense. The lighter recoil and lighter guns make it a viable option, although not a primary option for home defense.
Firearms like the Henry 410 are not as restricted as semi-automatic options and are easier to aim than handguns. It is recommended to use a buckshot load of some type if you choose to have it for home defense.
The 410 is one of the smallest shotgun shells on the market. But this does not mean it lacks power. It can easily be used to take down coyotes within its effective range. Which means it is strong enough to take down pest or game animals of roughly 45 pounds or less.
If the Henry 410 is over 26 inches overall or has an 18-inch barrel or longer, the shotgun is not subject to the National Firearms Act's restrictions. It can be modified to meet these requirements, at which point the appropriate paperwork needs to be submitted for ATF approval.
