A: Taurus is garbage.

All can I say is mine's been great for 9 years, never failed to fire and works very smoothly. :dunno:

B: .410 is good for squirrels and snakes and not much else.

00 or 000 buck is a more than adequate defense load, and you can step down from there for less bad guy / wall penetration.

C: Revolvers are waaaaaaaay more complicated (mechanically) than a semi auto,

I'll take your word for it. I've never torn it down very far, because that's not part of the recommended cleaning procedure. It's by far the easiest gun I have to clean. I find it easier to understand than a semi-auto. It's easier to see if it's loaded, jamming isn't a thing, there's no cycling that cares about how you hold it, and if a fail-to-fire happened, just keep pulling the trigger.

It's a horrible CC gun, I can't guarantee a hit over like 5 yards, 5-6 rounds won't be enough to reliably stop more than 2 motorcycle-gear-wearing meth-heads, it's heavy... but it's my recommendation as a home defense gun for all the other reasons.
