I never thought much of the .410 until I shot a friends Mossberg pistol grip (#50455) camper in 1989. This gun was soooooo much fun. I could actually shoot it one handed and score hits! In 1991 he decided to sell it, fortunately I got it (with soft cordura case) and (extra) full length butt stock for $130. The fore end and pistol grip are black wood (or some composite) but the full butt is the standard wood. Doesn't really match but still looks bad ass. With it's 3" chamber it'll shoot all .410 ammo. Some years ago I got a great sale on Rexio .410 buckshot (2.5") I bought 500 rounds, so I'm fixed pretty good for the apocalypse. Also got 30 Dragons Breath shells (for the zombies). It is an excellent little shotgun. Folks ya gotta get a freakin' .410. Nice video.
I used to have a 20 gauge 500 Camper.I put a pistol grip shoulder stock on it but soon changed to a conventional shoulder stock from Choate's Machine & Tool. A Model 500 in any gauge is a good gun.
When i was a kid i reallly really wanted this 410 pump... all i had is a 410 single shot Still got it actually,,, soo im gonna buy this pump action for my daughter when i come acrosss this.... 22lr youth model is on the list for her too
My friends chuckled the first time I showed up with a single shot .410 but they started buying themselves one for small game. I've got 3 12 gauges but I've always felt that gauge was a heavy trip for squirrels & rabbits.
Thanks for sharing this I just baught one and haven't used it so this gives me an idea what I might be facing on my first deer hunt coming up. What ammo do you recommend I use with this for a deer?
I do find it large myself and always found it annoying how it is white. Hunting in snow frequently, it doesn’t really stand out. I painted mine orange years ago lol.
@@Huntingpros Get yourself Fingrs Heart 2 Art finger nail polish in phosphorus green(or maybe you prefer red) and paint that front sight in something a little more seeable. Done the same thing on my old single shot Rossi 410. The bead REALLY stands out now. Good video, by the way. Thinking about buying one for quicker extra shots....
@@unitedstatesirie7431 Never anything major. Actually when making this video, I had an incident where it never wanted to cycle back. The gun was fairly new and the grease they put on it from factory froze up in our sub zero temperatures. Aside from that it works great!
@@Huntingpros I am thinking about buying a MOSSBERG .410 model 500 shotgun. A pump shotgun would be fun. I have a COBRAY model D single shot .410 shotgun. It has a synthetic shoulder stock and a 18" inch steel barrel. IT IS THE WORLD'S LIGHTEST .410 SHOTGUN! It only weighs 1.5 pounds. It fires buckshot, birdshot, slugs & .22LR with barrel insert. It is a good reliable Survival gun for rabbits, squirrels and small game birds. I have another barrel for it that allows me to fire .45LC ammo. I also have a 12 gauge flare pistol barrel for it.
For the rattling arm have you tried slipping a strip of self-adhesive velcro (soft/female side) inside each side of the arm? Quiets the rattle and made the slide action a little smoother.
What model is it? There are at least a half dozen Mossberg 500 .410 shotguns, each oriented towards a slightly different use (all-purpose, hunting, Turkey, tactical, home defense, etc).
Snow easily gets in a shotgun if you are using it for small game hunting around here. Walking through the woods with snow covered limbs... Happens all the time.
@@doughesson I own a 20 gauge 500 as well and have used it for years hunting hares during our harsh Canadian winters. Very durable gun and well worth the money. Just speaking from personal experience, I have had snow and ice up in and my shotgun a few times. One of the things I'm not a fan of on these guns is that the port is exposed for things to get in there. You walk through the woods with 6 inches of snow on all of the limbs around you, snow is going to get in. You slip and fall, mud or snow is going to get in. With a simple cover this wouldn't happen. All of my browning, Beretta, Benelli, and Remington shotguns aren't open where the loading port exists. I just find it interesting that Mossberg keeps it open.
That forend is designed to be sloppy to protect the cocking arms on the pump action. If there two tight the arms warp under cocking and can stop it cycling properly. Again the 500 was designed to be gateless this was a law enforcement request to allow for quicker loading and clearence of obstructions.
@@doughesson not true. I run #9 tungsten super shot and tgrow more pellets with a 410 than a 20ga shooting 3" #2 steel. The hit harder and pentrate deeper than steel too.
Been thinking about getting a .410 pump for myself. I’m wondering how the Canuck .410 holds up against the Mossberg 500, as my local gun shop is selling those ones.
My first hunt was using a single shot .410. I've got one of my own now,too. Within limits,it's a very capable firearm for both beginners & experienced hunters.
Yes.. but the 410 slugs are only 1/4 ounce or about 120 grains. I don't know if they have 410 rifled slug barrels like how my 20 gauge combo came with both a smooth bore with 3 different choke tubes and rifled slug barrel?
In the first 2 sentences I knew this was Canadian filmed. "Snowshoe hares, and kraft dinner" were the giveaways. Excellent video. Love my 410s
@@eduffy4937 haha it’s definitely a fair assumption to know I’m Canadian! 😂
The wobbly pump handle is meant to be like that, it reduces chance of the action arms snapping
Thank you! I just bought one off a buddy and noticed this and was wondering if it’s just worn out or not
@@MrDillon2029 Just picked up the Mini 510 and was wondering the same thing, glad it is normal
Picked one of those up today. Got 20% off so it was less then $300. Not a bad price for a good little gun.
That is a good price! Right on! Enjoy it! 👍

timmies and KD, canuck to the core!
I finally picked one up today waited a very long time plus was short on funds for a long time saved enough to get one have one in 12 gauge
Thanks for sharing this I just baught one and haven't used it so this gives me an idea what I might be facing on my first deer hunt coming up. What ammo do you recommend I use with this for a deer?
Any kind of slug will do you fine. I mainly only use this gun for small game. 😀
The front bead on this is as big as a golf ball. I took it off and replaced with the rear brass bead.
I do find it large myself and always found it annoying how it is white. Hunting in snow frequently, it doesn’t really stand out. I painted mine orange years ago lol.
@@Huntingpros yeah I got the rear brass one in front and painted it with neon pink fingernail polish.
Nice rig man. Yep, my 1989 500 field 12g is a rattle trap too. Dead reliable they are though.
Definitely a little workhorse of a gun! Thanks for tuning in!
I've got the same gun .good honest review
Thanks for watching Josh!

How is dirt & snow going to get into the loading port? Are you stuffing crap into it to show that it could happen?
Snow easily gets in a shotgun if you are using it for small game hunting around here. Walking through the woods with snow covered limbs... Happens all the time.
@@Huntingpros I own a 12 & a 20 gauge Mossberg 500 & never had a problem with anything getting into the action via the loading port but the shells.

@@Huntingpros It also works well for the Ithaca 37 where Mossberg got the idea for the open port for ease of loading.
@@doughesson Thanks for watching! 😁

Great input! Thanks for watching 😁
I was just wondering if mossberg makes an accuchoke barrel for the model 500 410 shotgun because I'm not to fond of the all time full choke
.410s have so few pellets in the shell that they need to be concentrated to be effective.
@@doughesson not true. I run #9 tungsten super shot and tgrow more pellets with a 410 than a 20ga shooting 3" #2 steel. The hit harder and pentrate deeper than steel too.
How long is the barrel?
24 inches! Thanks for watching.
Been thinking about getting a .410 pump for myself. I’m wondering how the Canuck .410 holds up against the Mossberg 500, as my local gun shop is selling those ones.
I don't have any experience with the Canuck, but I must say, even a few years after making this video I love the 500!
That sounds like a neat combo!
Is the top of receiver drilled / tapped for optic mount?
No it's not unfortunately. There is a vented rib though.
Good video. I don't don't know what it it is about a .410 but they are fun to shoot. I will stick to the bigger shotguns for hunting though. Haha
drumavenger83 Oh Yeah ;). I personally use a 20 gauge most of the time! Thanks for watching.
My first hunt was using a single shot .410.
I've got one of my own now,too.
Within limits,it's a very capable firearm for both beginners & experienced hunters.
One shot with it at a paper plate. Great review!
Odd. My Mossberg 500 .410 came with a brass front bead.
paint the white sight red or green
Can you shoot tss loads out of it for turkeys? Curious
Absolutely. I run all tss #9s for turkey, ducks, geese, and im as deadly or better than my freinds running 20ga
can you shoot slugs from that gun?
Yes.. but the 410 slugs are only 1/4 ounce or about 120 grains. I don't know if they have 410 rifled slug barrels like how my 20 gauge combo came with both a smooth bore with 3 different choke tubes and rifled slug barrel?
Wouldn't be a problem if you didn't live in Canada
Thanks for watching!
Like there is only snow in Canada, what an ignorant comment
It's hard to understand what he's talkin aboot with his head flapping up and down
Tryin to keep warm I suspect
Prices?
Not a good pattern . Go with a 20 or 16 ga.
I use a 16 gauge for small game the majority of the time! Thanks for watching!
You shot hi
