Glad everyone has an opinion ..... that way at least someone has a chance to agree with you.
I bought mine for none of your reasons. I bought mine because it had better ballistics, it is very strong, and because I got a heck of a deal on it. It is worth more now than I paid for it...
SO maybe you should not let your own conscience be the judge of others. If those are your issues, they don't necessarily represent the issues of others..... but thanks for your concern...
And BTW, my gun is not ported.... I would not own a ported handgun. I own a rifle, and it nearly made me deaf in a matter of shots.

Could care less if anyone agreed with my opinions. They're mine.

I just happen to have such an opinion which is from the observation of many owners of these cannons. The manner in which they regard the firearms, how they talk of them and the manner in which they use them bring me to that opinion - my opinion.
I should mention that initially I was to exclude the 480 from the other 2 chambers as it seems those with the 480 are not as the others are. Maybe because it's not on a huge framed behemouth and isn't a "magnum". Seems that I touched a nerve byit's inclusion. First to jump...
Regardless I still see these as I stated before. No different than the truck lifted, wearing waaay to big of ribber and over-chromed and over-loud just to turn heads. Compensating for something?
I wonder though, if such cannons are no neccessary where were all it's proponents when the 460 and 500s weren't around? Were these folks buying the custom Limbaughs and such? After all if such power was so neccessary for them surely it's worth the money.
thanx for your opinion also.
