First Welcome.  Make sure you take some time to read through the FAQ.  Most questions have answers there if you search for them.

Barrel swaps can be smooth as silk, it's luck of the draw.  Should be no problem with fitting that .410 to that frame that I can see other than typical fit issues.  I have an SB2 that I've fitted a .45-70 32" BC barrel, .45 LC barrel, .223 Rem Barrel and 12 GA. barrel.  Hoping to add a .58 Cal huntsman muzzle loader this week too,.  I got lucky and all click right on perfect.  Some require shimming with pop can (temporary) or some use feeler gauges (longer lasting).
 
Hope this helps some and make sure you review that link I gave above.  ;)

As tacklebury said, the barrel swap shouldn't be a problem. 

The only thing you might want to consider is changing the stock, if you currently have a MC stock on the SB2.  MC stocks work great for me with rifles.  But, I've always have a problem shooting a shotgun correctly with a MC stock, I do a lot better with a straight stock on my shotguns.   Might just be me tho.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.
