I will honestly and seriously argue that it is about more than simple bragging rights. I'll make a genuine case for -FUN-

I'll second that. I bet that most .500 S&W owners have them for the experience and fun. Bragging is about fulfiling a need to impress people. I've often seen it in people who have confidence or self-image issues.
I don't believe everyone who buys a >44 has those issues. I do believe most enjoy the power of big-bores.
I initially bought my .44 Mag because the .357 I'd hoped to buy had gone already and it was much cheaper than normal. It was a case of "What the heck. I'm walking out with a revolver today and this is what they have."
Apart from some technique teething problems, I've never looked back.
