depends what you want it for. But in most cases yes its wrong to want it.
Get a Governor instead from S&W, you get an extra round and it will also fire .45 ACP.

From what I’ve seen, they aren’t accurate with the .410 shells at anything other than across-the-room ranges, and if you want to carry .45 Colt or .45 ACP there are much better revolver options than those large, heavy, bulky revolvers. The question is then whether the .410 is a viable option for close-range defense. I can see arguments either way.

Mine is clean as a whistle still and I was caught in a torrential downpour while turkey hunting this past April. Are they known for rusting or something? I haven't cleaned mine that much either (as I probably should)

Supposedly, Adaisha Miller hugged an off-duty Detroit cop from behind, and the hug somehow made his gun—which was in a IWB (inside the waistband) holster—discharge and kill her. This story stinks to me, and I very much doubt it’s true. First, even soft-sided holsters like ones made of nylon and similar fabrics are not so soft as to allow a trigger to be depressed through them. There’s no way the trigger on a holstered gun could be depressed through the holster. And this holster was inside the waistband of his pants, not outside it. Second, the Detroit Police Department issues a version of the Smith & Wesson M&P, which has a fairly long trigger pull of more than 6 lbs. The gun will not fire unless that trigger is brought fully and completely to the rear. Anything less will not fire the gun. We’re talking about pulling that trigger fully to the rear through both a holster and a pair of pants. Third, guns in IWB holsters generally point down and slightly to the rear. Even assuming the trigger was pulled enough to fire, it would have fired toward the ground. But Adaisha Miller was hit in the chest. She wasn’t a child who'd be close to the ground; she was 24. How could it hit her in the chest?
What say you, fellow gun owners? I think this whole story sounds like a cover-up.

That would be an explanation, but the Chief of the Detroit Police held a press conference where he specifically and repeatedly said the gun was in “a non-department-issued waist holster.” Also, a representative of the police officers’ union in Detroit described the gun as being carried “in a holster worn inside the officer's waistband and … covered by his shirt.” Everyone is saying that it was an IWB belt holster.

That gun does not go off unless someone squeezes the trigger. I'm having a really hard time envisioning a way for the scenario to have happened the way it has been reported. A really hard time.
"Police think that James Holmes, suspected of killing 12 moviegoers and wounding 58 at a theater in Aurora, Colo., acted alone. But some would say the shooter had help — in the form of the three guns he brought with him into the theater."

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the added capacity only subtracted perhaps 30 seconds from the time it would otherwise have taken him to commit the crime. (Allegedly) And seeing as he was apprehended at his car while attempting to flee the scene, there's no way that the added capacity added to the carnage.
But the 'reportage' will no doubt focus on this point.

Actually it was kind of lucky he was using those ludicrous ultra high cap magazines. I have a 100 round drum for my AK and it is a PoS. I heard that he actually jammed his AR. If he was just using standard high quality 30 round mags he would have killed more people.
