Shooting Trap with Taurus 45/410

Curious to see if it was possible to shoot trap with the Taurus 45/410. We used the Taurus Judge with 3 inch cylinder and 3 inch barrel with Winchester .410 2.5 inch shells with No. 8 shot.

Firing Remington 3 inch .410 5 pellet buckshot at 10 yards creates a pattern big as a garbage can lid. The rifling causes the pellets to compress against each other and they come out as hockey pucks. You're gonna hit at 10 yards, target's in the probable danger zone within 20 yards, but they fly off rapidly after that. Indoor or vehicle defense is great, superb snake gun with bird shot; but that's it. Your carry piece should be something else.

What's the pattern like with the Judge? Really want to get one but they're classified as sawed-off shotguns in the Communist State of California and therefore illegal. One day...
