I'm new here and just thought I'd post about my first firearm: the Mossberg HS410. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of information out there about this firearm, and so I thought I'd write up what I know.

I picked it up for home defense -- it is easy to shoot, and something that even my wife is willing to practice with at the range.
After a lot of consideration, I have opted to go with #4 buckshot in 3" shells for its intended home defense purposes. I have found this to be a great load:

Mr. Horman over at 410handguns has put up some very interesting pattern and penetration testing results for various kinds of 410 ammo and firearms, including the HS410:

It seems that the HS410 is the black sheep of the Mossberg 500 series, and I haven't found many accessories that fit it. So I'll post what I have found so far.
I can recommend this case, which accommodates the HS410's forearm grip:

I can recommend this buttstock ammo holder (Allen Company Buttstock Rifle Cartridge Holder - ASIN: B000LC655Q - model 206), which fits the Mossberg HS410 stock and also holds .410 shells securely:

I can also recommend the SOE Bungee Single Point Sling (w/standard adapter) as a good single point sling that is compatible with the HS410:
