It's one thing to have a gun like that - quite another to actually

It is also one thing to clean up after shotting a burglar with a 9 mm
and quite another to clean up after shooting some with a 454 Casual.

And should you ever have to use the .454 Casull for its intended
purpose, the last thing in the world you'll be paying attention to is
recoil...or cleanup. Using full-power .454 ammunition, the Casull's
purpose is close-up protection from in-your-face predators with fangs
and claws. If your original intention was to land that salmon when momma
grizz suddenly takes exception to your presence, that Casull will come
in mighty handy.

Moron.

The "intended purpose" (according to Dick Casull) for that caliber was
hunting. In every test you see in the gun publications, the muzzle flash is
enormous. In a dark encounter with a bad guy, the flash would blind you, and
the second shot, which you MUST be ready for, would be next to impossible to
aim accurately. You could probably find ONE gun shop owner who'd recommend
such a gun for defense, but he'd probably be a descendant of the same
toothless idiot who spawned you.
