Our BGR association does have a Howdah pistol competition in its rules.
1. Minimum calibre .375
2. Single or double barrels
3. Smooth or ball rifling
4. Minimum muzzle energy 1000 ft.lbs
5. Minimum 300gn bullet weight
Firing sequence - 10 shots at either 25 or 10 yards at a "tiger' target - if possible
So if you have 300gn at 1250fps then you exceed the 1000ft.lbs target & in say a 4-5lb package....it certainly would be lively!
Do you or anyone, any branch, actually shoot it?
How many people participate?
If there was a variation where eb .58 was required and steel targets needed to be knocked over, it might satisfy some of the requirements for a handgun greater than .38 in calibre.
