Want to sell it? Probably a stupid question.

A great combo for when wandering in an area where your not sure what is gonna pop up in front of you.
Very quick and simple to flick from one cartridge to the other.
My only dislike is that it is very heavy.

This one of my mates is lighter than my stirling .22wmr which gives it a little bit of recoil when using the .410 but nothing over the top
