That's not silly. The S&W 500 is a great gun. It's a little weak on concealability, but it more than makes up for that with stopping power. [sarcasm?]
I thought the Taurus Judge was absurd when I first saw it. I vot a chance to fire it and fell in love. Fires .410 shells as well as cartridges. It looks like a cartoon pistol, but the kick was manageable enough to fire with one hand. Great home defense gun. Revolver too.
