Gun and gear reviews Is there a good .410 revolver shotgun?

I've been watching many reviews, mostly of bullpups, but a lot seem to complain about cylinder gap blasting debris into the forearm and face... For reasons I can't explain I still want one, is there a good one on the market?

If you were to pick one, I'd suggest if possible at least getting one with a steel receiver, I'd consider those the "best" for longetivity (relatively speaking, few Turkish shotguns are known to be excellent in this area) . When it comes to cylinder gap blast, there isn't a model that completely solves it no, most have guards, on the Lazer Arms I had for a short while I actually found the guard directed the blast into my face, taking the guards off let it at least blow out the sides, wasn't nearly as bad on the arms as I thought it would be.

It was fun, but yeah, wouldn't expect it to be the crown jewel of a collection. If you're not particulat about it being a .410 shotgun and with a bit different handling characteristics, Heritage's Rough Rider Rancher carbine is pretty fun, mine functioned pretty well and was quite accurate too.

Given the mostly negative opinions here, I'll probably just sell a few and get a 590A1 instead. Sounds like the revolver shotgun concept is uncomfortable.
