    Nothing like a little "love tap" to get some one's attention!
    If the slug doesn't get them, the muzzle blast will!

    If you run out of ammo, you could throw it at the mastodon and do some serious damage.

    A Buick in rut is nothing to mess with.
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    I've got one of those. Neat revolvers, but a bit bulky for CC although I've carried it that way a time or two.

    Next time you shoot this hand cannon, record your COA measurement, shoot 1 or 2 rounds, then check COA of the remaining rounds in the cylinder for boolit creep against the crimp.

    If you discover the boolits pulling crimp even slightly it could sure open up groups as COA very much affects pressure, which in turn affects accuracy.

    It looks like a carbide factory crimp die was applied, these may lessen the amount of case tension due to springback in the brass, this would also promote boolits pulling against the crimp.
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    If you want to carry that in an ankle holster, you're gonna need a thicker ankle.,

    Cool cannon.
    Concealable???
    Well, I did used to conceal a 7.5” Blackhawk in 45 Colt.
    But my cover garment was a F150.

    Nice a WFN at 700-800 FPS would be fun.

    With the muzzle blast even a miss would be something to contend with. Either wear your ear plugs all the time or hope the perp gives you a heads up before attacking.
