No never even held one.I'm in the market for a 454Casull at the moment but they are expensive here in South Africa.
My self defence weapon that I usually carry with me here is a CZ75.9mmPara.It is a great weapon and has never let me down.I shoot very accurate with it and I have shot warthogs with it before and birds offcourse.I take it with me whenever I hunt smaller animals such as bushpig,bushbuck,warthogs etc cause if I'm in a situation where the bush is very thick and I have to follow a wounded animal the handgun work much easier.I have 16 rounds to fire rapidly and accurately within a couple of seconds.But want to get a bigger calibre hand gun.!!!
