"Why have big bored revolvers (44 mag, 454, 500S&W etc..) been made in revolvers and not Semis?" [9mm]
There have been attempts to build large bore semis, as noted by ScottRiqui, one was the AMT AutoMag 44, which weighs in at about 4 lbs loaded, one of John Sanford's maverick products. Dirty Harry used one in 'Sudden Impact'.
Some years ago, after Mr. Sanford passed, at auction I acquired his personal carry. What is this gun? An Airweight J-frame S&W M38-2.
Sort of brings the question into perspective.
PS: The trigger on the little gun is sublime.
