I have one, and it is the most incredible handgun available. First, the way those "small" engineers at S&W weighted and put a brake on that just perfect, because it kicks WAY less than any .454 I have ever shot. The loads for it are awesome, and it is more pleasant to shoot than even my Ruger Redhawk in .44 mag. I advise getting one if you are a handgunner, and don't let anybody talk you out of it because of the recoil....my dad and I are gonna pull the triggers on two at a time next weekend! Truly, they are more loud than hard-kicking, even though they do pakc a punch.
