Man wish I'd gotten to the SHOT show. See all the cool toys.

Says they'll market to civilians and law enforcement. Wondering what LE niche this will fill. lol. Not sure how much demand there is for a gun that shoots somethign even bigger than 454 Cassul, which this also fires along with 45 LC.

I will say if I were in grizzly country I'd want an uber powerful round, but for home defense this is best if you feel you may experience a home invasion by a Transformer or Godzilla.

That looks pretty darn cool, but I don't think it fits in what I *think* I need for my use.

Pull that and point it at someone and you won't have to pull the trigger.........the person on the business end of that will just mess their pants and stroke out right there on the spot!

That weapon scares the crap out of me just with a picture.

I imagine the intent of the large caliber revolver is to stop a charging bear in its tracks. For the two-footed predators a smaller caliber weapon with more rounds is more suitable.
