Alan,
I have had in the past, a Taurus, .454 Causal and I never want another! Damn thing was a Horse!! The blast from the damn thing would have knocked 'em down!!! If that didn't work, they could enjoy their ears ringing for hours along with yours. Even two fisted, the damn thing will nearly rip your thumb out of joint. No, I don't think I should want another Hand Howitser. I'll stick to 357, 44 MAG., and my old 45.
