new pocket pistol caliber question

Really like this guys videos. Dont remember that one. Not sure if i missed it or forgot it. I wanted one but decided if i were at home id rather have a 12 shotgun for more power + pellets. If i were CC I'd rather not have a greater possibility of stray shots and more accuracy at a distance with a normal round. This puts this type of pistol as a car/boat/truck gun for very close encounters and probably lacks penetration vs heavy car doors. For what it is id say its great but with very limited overall usefulness.
 
Seems like a viable option for (urban) home or car defense.
I'd give a .410 handgun fairly high marks for SD at 5 yds or less...after that, the advantage of multiple projectiles starts to drop sharply.

Yeah, I've always thought of the .410 handguns as a kind of 'repel boarders' weapon like the old-school 'duckfoot' pistols.
