I've never shot one of those, so I'm filing that piece of info in my little mental lock-box - thanks

Don't let this stop you from shooting one. (under safe conditions of course) I LOVE shooting that thing. I will usually wear gloves now when I shoot it. Shooting without a glove is still a nice experience, but putting a lot of ammo downrange with an unprotected hand will bruise the crap out of your first metacarple.

Shooting a big rear revolver is a unique experience and quite a rush. It's pretty impressive what one wil do to a hog too!!
