Does it come with the followup carpal tunnel surgery you’ll need if you shoot it?

[who knows what evil?]

I want.

[Lurker]

Feh, let me know when they make one in 10 gauge.

[rarestia]

An impractical weapon to say the lease. Some people do things just because they can.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Perfect home defense weapon for the wife! Looks like something from the “Roger Rabbit” movie!

a grip-reducing recoil

Sounds counter-productive. Anyway...as pointed out above, just because you can does not mean you should.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

It was a concept gun. Never sold any due to legal restrictions.

[Mr. K]

so THAT's what they mean by Hand Cannon

I would naturally require somebody's assistance to hold the mirror whilst I shoot coins over my shoulder.

No, not shoot at coins. Shoot coins.

[Mastador1]

Pretty damn sure I saw this gun in Who Framed Roger Rabbit!

I would like to posit that the pictured firearm is a Taurus Raging Judge Magnum... capable of shooting a 3” magnum .410 shotgun round, a .45 acp round, and the star of the show- the .454 Casull round. Ballistics of the .454 Casull, will give the shooter a chance to fire a 300 grain bullet down range at approximately 1800 feet a second. It’s credited with dropping the top five big game animals of Africa. I bought the snub nose (2 1/2” barrel) only to learn that it is illegal in California, where I planned to carry it on a hike.

[freepersup]

Whoops... looks like I jumped the shark. The subject weapon is the version capable of firing the .28 gauge shotgun shell. My bad.

[wastedyears]

Don’t they mean a recoil-reducing grip?

[xp38]

If they ever remake Dirty Harry this is his new handgun.

[muir_redwoods]

As a somewhat related matter, why are 28 ga slug rounds so rare?

[Yosemitest]

Looks like a 5 shot 3 inch .410 shotgun revolver.

[Yosemitest]

That's a very tiny woman.
Compare it to the LeMat Revolver.

LeMat originally chambered his pistol for .40 (or .42) caliber revolver bullets, with a .60 (20 gauge) smooth-bore barrel,
and had a jointed ramrod (mounted on the right-hand side of the frame), which was used to load both barrels.
Later, during the American Civil War, a lighter .35-caliber pistol with a .55 caliber (28-gauge) smooth bore barrel was produced,
but as these were non-standard ammunition sizes (.36 or .44 caliber were most common for contemporary revolvers) LeMat owners had to cast their own bullets (as opposed to being issued them from general military stores.)
The final models of the LeMat were produced in .36 or .44 caliber in response to these criticisms,
but too few of them managed to get past the Union blockade of the South during the Civil War to be of any real use.

Choot’em

Looks too big to be taken for real. Then you get shot with one.
