CBC .410 single shot question.

[Will Carry]

I have this .410 shotgun from Brazil that I used to carry canoe camping. I used it for canoe camping because it's worth next to nothing and if it gets wet or lost on the river, it's no big deal. I stopped taking it canoe camping because I had no use for it. If the banjo pickin' gay rapist ambushed us, a .410 single shot ain't gonna help. My question is. Could I shoot a 45 long colt round out of this smooth bore shotgun? It has an 18.5 inch barrel. I wonder if the shotgun could take the pressure.

I have paddled many a stream and lake in Tennssee and never had any problems with anyone we have met.

Just me, I wouldn't. The first thing I learned about firearms when I was 7yrs old was only put ammo in the firearm that the firearms was designed/marked for. Not worth the consequences if it doesn't work. Logically, it should work and be fine, but I follow that rule religiously.

Load it with the Winchester Super-X 5rd 000 buck 3" load and call it the Burt Reynolds special....Bubba will be the only one squealing like a pig when that baby hits him.
