Any article that uses “hand cannon”, “badass”, and “man stopper” should not be considered as any sort of serious look at a firearm.
While the concept of a handheld shotgun has helped sell a ton of these guns, true ballistics testing has been pretty unimpressive. Take a look at this standardized test, using some of the ammo mentioned in the article: http://www.410handguns.com/410_gel_results.html
The ONLY rounds with somewhat acceptable penetration were the 000 and #4 buck, and even with those, almost all of the pellets from each test failed to meet the FBI penetration standard of 12”.
An older, less formal test is here: https://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-41-the-taurus-judge-vs-the-box-o-truth/
In my opinion, these guns are a very heavy platform that give you 5 effective projectiles. They have significant recoil, making recovery and followup slower. As a snake gun, etc they are fine. For defense though, I believe there are many far better options.
If I were carrying one it would be with one round of .000 buck .410 for a snake encounter and the rest would be .45 Long Colt in JHP for two legged or four legged beast.
For a truck/car rifle I have an old Norinco SKS rifle in a zipped case with five stripper clips loaded and ten rounds in the magazine, but the chamber clear. It fires the AK round which is a proven man stopper.
