How many of you started with a .410?

The other thread got me wondering if all the less than positive comments about the .410 were based on experiences of those that had started with a .410 and found it a discouraging experience.

For those of you that started with one, did you find the experience with the .410 gratifying or disappointing?

Did it deter you from advancing your shooting or draw you into it further?

Please share your experiences.

With aches and pains all over from home immprovement, regards
