Is this a good revolver for conceal carry
can it be concealed yes is it a good concealed carry gun IMO No its to bulky and heavy my full size 1911 is far easier to conceal
Patrick, if you can conceal it properly, then the answer is clearly yes. I'm 6"2 and 240lbs and have successfully carried a Glock Model 20 and the 6" Model 40 without so much as a hint of a problem. The only concern you may run into is the weight may be an issue for extended carry periods.
Honestly, Patrick of course one could carry this revolver. The disadvantages in my opinion are: weight, limited capacity, weight. bulk and weight. Yep I said weight three times. I consider this to be more of a 'night stand' gun than a carry gun. Loaded with buckshot, it would make a great home defense gun. For carry, if you like a revolver, I would recommend one of the S&W airweight models in .357/38. Much lighter and much easier to conceal.

Disclaimer: this answer is only my personal opinion and not factual. That being said, I would not recommend this for carry for several reasons. First of all, this is a quite large/bulky and heavy gun which would make carrying and concealing it difficult and uncomfortable. Second, I personally do not believe that most .410 "self defense" load are effective or reliable in comparison to traditional handgun ammo; though 45 Colt is also an option I see no reason to carry this large of a firearm for that cartridge when 44 Magnum is somewhat comparable and offered in much smaller guns. Finally, in comparison to other concealed carry options this gun has a relatively small capacity, high recoil, bulky frame, and heavy weight, I think there are much better options available.
