My opinion is probably not worth a lot, but I believe the 410 is not a gun for a kid. It is a gun for an experienced shooter. Same with the 28. The 20 gauge is a much better choice.
The 12 is the most popular gauge and has more rounds available for it. Packaging is better too as there are more bulk packs available.
You usually see #3 buck in 20 gauge (20 - .25" pellets) defense loads. Older and smaller shooters that are more recoil sensitive would be better served with a 20. Recoil could be reduced a little more with an auto loader. Slug loads are 5/8 oz and 3/4 oz. I have even been looking at the 410 for a home defense shotgun. 5-000 buck in a 3" load is pretty formidable. I think I may have found a decent slug load for the 410. Still researching.
