Great line, great delivery, but inaccurate. The .454 Casull, for one. was
and is "more powerful."


Nope. Model 500 Smith and Wesson:

Nope. There are many pistols that fire high powered rifle ammo. T/C
makes the Contender as an example. All impractical for defense. The S&W
Model 500 came up in this thread because Krause was trying to appear
knowledgeable and did a quick internet search.
