How do YOU define "most powerful"? Do you know anything about handguns?
If you are considering just the size of the bullet, look here...

mid 1980's and I went to a gun show at Norco, Calif. You could shoot any of
the guns there. Was about a buck a shot for the 454 casull. Saw what it
did to a steel plate, cool. And also what it did to the shooter. No
thanks at shooting it.

It's one thing to have a gun like that - quite another to actually
shoot it with any kind of accuracy.

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.


Can you imagine your wife (or the average male) trying to use this gun
in an emergency or using this gun for target practice.

It appears ( http://www.magnumresearch.com/images/BFR.pdf ) that this
handgun will also fire the .410 shotgun shell, or something similar. That
may be the best of both worlds for someone who wanted a lot of home
protection. Hide a dozen or so of these around the house and you'd feel
quite secure - until the grandkids came over!
