    IMHO.


    unpleasant to shoot. A very regrettable purchase.
    a slow death awaits you,but not before love reminds you that there is good in you

    This reminds of when I bought a Desert Eagle in .50 AE way back when.I just had to have the thing and after I had gotten it and shot it a few times good old buyer's remorse soon set in.I was lucky enough to trade it in for a much more practical and equally pricey firearm...How much are the bullets for that cannon?

    I have fired a few of them in the past, and honestly the recoil didn't really bother me. I have quite a bit of experience shooting Big Bore Revolvers, and I thoroughly enjoy handgun hunting. So in a way, this gun would be at least semi-practical for me. I keep trying to justify it... MAKE IT STOP!!!

    Just go buy it already. Since when does practical have anything to do with it anyways? I love mine.

    Ammo is extremely expensive. Maybe you can afford it but that was the cold water for my desire. 2.50 per self defense round? Ouch.

    I don't remember who, but someone makes a carbine chambered it that caliber. If you ask me, that's a small rifle caliber to begin with. If you want something chambered in that caliber, that would be my recommendation.
