Bond Snake Slayer Derringer Ammunition Choices

My friend recently bought a Bond Snake Slayer Derringer for personal protection and now has to decide which type of ammunition to carry in it. The Snake Slayer derringer is capable of shooting 45 Long Colt as well as 410 Shot Shell ammunition.

In order to determine which is the best ammunition he should use for self defense, he purchased a variety of 410 shot shells as well as 45 Long Colt ammunition. The idea was to test fire each at the range and evaluate the shot pattern as well as the comfort and recoil associated with each type or ammo.

To test the shot shells, he loaded both barrels of the derringer and test fired each of the following 410 shot shells. Distance to the target was 10 feet. Both barrels were fired. 9 inch diameter paper plates mounted on a cardboard back-stop were used as targets. Pictures were taken of each shot pattern.

My friend also shot 45 Long Colt ammunition to test the accuracy and recoil. Targets were placed at distances of 7', 10' and 15'. The recoil of the 45 Long Colt was not bad and the accuracy fired through the derringer can be seen in the pictures.
