The perfect little knife to cut the rattle off the next snake you pop with that Bond Arms! Great pic.
What is the model name of that copperhead you have more or less in the center of that image?Carl the only 410 that’s worth anything is the Federal 410 000 buck, I’ve used some shot shells on pest, but prefer my NAA with .22mag shot better for that task. I can’t find my actual chronograph results but from memory the the 000Buck 4 pellets are 68 grains clocking at around 660fps for an individually 65.5 fpe combined the 4 pellets are 272 grains for 263 fpe that’s from a 3” Bond barrel. So basically 4- 36 caliber sized projectiles with the individual energy of a .25acp. making hits simultaneously in a string past about 15’, up close it’s a smaller tighter group more fist sized. Recoil I don’t notice a difference between a 255 grain colt, .230acp or the Federal 410 000Buck, 357mag from a J-frame is more dramatic. I’d not want to be on the receiving end, I carry the 410 in spring working in my garden and when I’m picking wild blueberries in July, usually with one 410 000buck and then a 255 grain colt. From the 3”410 I get 780fps 344fpe with a 255 grain colt, for some perspective my 3.5” Colt Only Bond barrel I get 860fps from the same bullet 418 fpe.
The 410 is very useful and easy to make hits, but I do prefer carrying it .45 colt or .45 acp, 38’s are extremely accurate and a pleasure to shoot, I get better 357 and 38 special ballistics out of my 3.5” Bond than my Ruger 3” sp101 due to the closed combustion and lack of cylinder gap.
They now make a rougher version that’s pretty responsibly priced. I’ve put many thousands of rounds through it I’d guess 6000-7000 rounds through it without a failure.

I hadn't looked into the copperlock knives much before i don't usually use locking knives much, this one looks pretty nice though, i might look into getting myself one sometime in the future now. Thanks for the reply.
