For some reason it seems to be very workable. I've been playing around with .410's in both 12 and 20 gauge for a while now. They perform very well. ? Kind of very "counter intuitive". That seems to be the case with others as well from what I hear/read or absorb from osmoses. !!! A real winner for me, because for subsistence hunting/survival purposes, I can carry way more .410's than 12 or even 20gauge shells, (weight for weight/bulk for bulk) and for real small game like squirrels, grouse and rabbits, they are perfectly adequate. At the same time, a few 12 or 20 gauge Brenekke slugs in the bag offers more protection than any .410 slug load.Shooting a .410 shotshell out of a 12g with an adapter will be workable.
I agree, for shooting pistol rounds out a shotgun, they do present accuracy problems, both for the points you mention, and also most shotguns not having a rear sight. Of course sights can be added to any shotgun, but it is another bridge to cross.
