I was offered the opportunity to fire this montrosity and foolishly agreed. Not being totally foolhardy, I loaded the first three cylinders with .454 Casull and the last three with .45 Long Colt. Six rounds were then fired in the DA mode.

At a distance of about 25 yards, I kept the three .454 in a 8" group. The blast was terrific and the recoil sharp. I then fired the three .45 Long Colt as a comparison. While the group did shrink considerably and by comparison it was very pleasant, I would hazard to say that it is very unlikely that I would own such a gun.

It does make for a strong argument in favor of magnaporting (reduced felt recoil) and a red dot sight (more mass for less recoil).
