    The most powerful handgun ?

    Is this the truly the most powerful hand gun in the world? Would the government even allow this to be imported in any state?

        how much actual energy are those huge cannons actually developing? Most of the power in the powder charge is going unused due to barrel length. I have a .444 marlin 15" barrel for my Encore. It's nothing but really loud and hard kicking and makes huge fireballs.

        Point is, I'd think that a dedicated pistol cartridge with a proper powder for use in magnum pistol rounds would generate more actual energy even though it wouldn't be near as showy. Wondering if the .500 S&W doesn't make more real energy.

        Now stick that .600 nitro in a rifle and it becomes something really impressive.

          A pointless waste of money imho.

              sometimes you just gotta ask those two questions...

              Do I need this? and Will this hurt my balls?

                O.k....point taken. Sometimes you've just gotta have something that makes the next guy say "WTF?"

                  AFAIK, it would be considered a DD in the US. As such, it couldn't be imported for sale to the public.

                  Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

                      lol I think that you don't get pleasure from shooting this sucker. You go and just shoot off one round and then bask in the glory of attention that you get.

                          The .44 Magnum, it's the most powerful and would blow your head clean off.
