Mossberg SA-410 Turkey Pistol Grip .410 22 in Mossy Oak
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs only 5.8 lbs unloaded – nearly 2 lbs lighter than many 20-gauge turkey autoloaders.
- 22-inch barrel with included extended turkey choke optimizes pattern density at sub-30 yard ranges.
- Picatinny rail allows direct mounting of micro red dots for precise head/neck shots.
- Semi-auto action reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% compared to a break-action .410.
Trade-offs
- Stock is not pre-drilled for sling swivels – requires aftermarket installation for carry.
- No additional choke tubes included – limits versatility for other game without extra purchase.
- Fiber-optic sights are non-adjustable for windage or elevation – zeroing requires aiming off or rail-mounted optic.
- .410 bore ammo is significantly more expensive per round than 20 or 12 gauge target loads for practice.

About this product
What is the Mossberg SA-410 Turkey Pistol Grip .410 22 in Mossy Oak? It's a purpose-built, sub-gauge semi-automatic shotgun configured specifically for tight-quarters turkey hunting with a pistol grip synthetic stock and an extended turkey choke for dense patterns. Finished in Mossy Oak Greenleaf camouflage with a Picatinny-railed receiver and 22-inch vent-rib barrel, it occupies a specific niche within the autoloading shotgun market for hunters who prioritize maneuverable handling in heavy brush. This particular setup balances the light ammunition capacity and moderate recoil impulse of the .410 bore against the need for precise, close-range terminal performance on avian game.
What is the Mossberg SA-410 Turkey Pistol Grip used for?
This shotgun is designed primarily for spring turkey hunting in wooded or brushy environments where engagement distances are typically under 30 yards. Its pistol grip stock and 22-inch barrel make it highly maneuverable for shooting from a seated position in a blind or against a tree, and the included extended choke tube is engineered to produce a tight, dense pattern specifically with TSS (tungsten super shot) or heavy lead #9 shot at those ranges. The fiber-optic sight system provides rapid target alignment in low-light conditions typical of dawn setups, and the 3-inch chamber allows for the use of modern, high-density payload turkey loads where legal.
How does the Mossberg SA-410 compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun .410 Bore?
The Mossberg SA-410's semi-automatic action provides faster potential follow-up shots and differentiates it from the break-action Stevens 555 Sporting Over/Under. While the Mossberg allows a 4+1 ammunition capacity versus the Stevens' two-shot limit, the Stevens 555 O/U typically offers superior, more consistent point-of-impact between its two choked barrels and lacks the potential for short-stroking malfunctions under light loads. For a disciplined hunter who values absolute mechanical reliability and shot-to-shot consistency over capacity, the over/under action of the Stevens is superior; for those prioritizing a faster second shot on a flushing flock, the Mossberg's autoloader is the better tool.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, this shotgun weighs 5.8 pounds, with an overall length of 36.5 inches from the muzzle to the end of the pistol grip. The 22-inch barrel has a vent-rib width of 8mm to reduce heat mirage, and the distance from the trigger to the back of the pistol grip is approximately 5.75 inches—a measurement shooters should confirm for hand fit. This lightweight and compact profile is a primary selling point, coming in roughly 1.2 pounds lighter than many 12-gauge turkey-specific autoloaders, which directly contributes to its carry comfort during long stalks or sits.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a suitable firearm for waterfowl hunting over decoys where steel shot is required and longer shots are the norm, nor is it an ideal choice for general small-game hunting where a longer barrel and modified choke offer more versatility. The pistol grip stock and specialized turkey choke make it a poor fit for trap or sporting clays compared to dedicated target-specific shotguns. Furthermore, hunters in states with magazine capacity restrictions for turkey hunting must verify local regulations, as the 4+1 capacity may exceed legal limits.
What's in the box?
The shotgun ships with the extended turkey choke tube already installed, a chamber flag for safety, owner's manual, and a single choke tube wrench. Unlike many competitors, Mossberg does not include a flush-mounted modified or improved-cylinder choke tube with this model, as its design focus is singular, and you must purchase additional chokes separately if you intend to use it for other applications. The warranty card is also included, covering the receiver and barrel for the standard manufacturer's term against defects in materials or workmanship.
Is the Mossberg SA-410 Turkey Pistol Grip worth it at $802.99?
At this price point, its value depends entirely on your specific need for a dedicated, lightweight turkey gun in .410 bore. Compared to adapting a more versatile 20-gauge shotgun for turkey duty, the SA-410's specialized configuration saves weight and offers handling optimized for a single task. The cost is justified if you hunt in thick cover where every ounce and inch matters, but it represents a significant investment for a single-purpose tool compared to a more adaptable 12-gauge autoloader that might cost the same. For the specialized hunter, yes—for the generalist, likely not.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it come with a sling or swivels installed?
- No, it does not. The Mossberg SA-410 Turkey stock is not pre-drilled for swivel studs. You will need to purchase and install an aftermarket stock-mounted swivel system, such as a Hawkins or Uncle Mike's strap kit, separately if you want to carry it with a sling.
- Is this shotgun compatible with 2.5-inch .410 shells?
- Yes, absolutely. The 3-inch chamber will safely and reliably cycle 2.5-inch (also called 2 ½-inch) low-brass and high-brass .410 shells. The autoloading action is specifically tuned by Mossberg to function with the lighter recoil impulse of standard 2.5-inch target loads, not just 3-inch magnums.
- Can I mount a red dot optic on the Picatinny rail?
- Yes. The rail section on the receiver is a standard 1913 Picatinny specification, allowing direct mounting of any micro red dot with a compatible footprint, like a Holosun HE407C or Sig Sauer ROMEO5. For larger tube-style red dots, you may need a low-profile cantilever mount.
- What is the shipping time to an FFL?
- Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock firearms within 2 business days of cleared payment and verified FFL information. Transit time via FedEx or UPS Ground is typically 3-5 additional business days, depending on your location relative to our warehouse in Billings, Montana.
