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.

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.

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
