Look like the dude’s forehead took a ricochet at some point.

I am a big handgun fan but that is way too much gun for me.

That kind of fire power should also have a longer barrel and a compensator to help control the muzzle climb.

That guy is a big well-muscled dude and he has trouble controlling that revolver. It has maybe a four inch barrel at most just from the picture. I would have no less that an eight inch barrel for that kind of round.

Of course having an eight inch barrel on such a large revolver would make it far too heavy for a backup carry side arm on a hunting trip.

A .44 magnum is about a big a pistol round that I would consider practical for carry. Anything larger I would consider an impractical collectors curiosity.

The drawback to compensators is noise. It sends the noise right back at you and most hearing protection isn’t adequate.

For some reason a lot of gun guys have strongly held opinions that have merely a passing acquaintance with facts. I’ve seen at least two women fire this, one-handed, with complete control. So much for your opinion. It is a lovely pistol.
