I have to agree with dphillips.I would love to have that kind of power in a handgun that does not need a set of wheels. I am hoarding my rubles for a freedom arms in .45 or.50. A handgun needs to be available when it is needed, if you can't pack it reasonably then it will not be there when needed. I guess it would be fine as the primary weapon in a hunt, but would still be a bitch to carry around with you. I would rathe carry a carbine of some kind. What kind of penetration will a .50 200 grain bullet give you on anything the lhe least bit tough??????
