That don't look fun to shoot at all!
My wrists started hurting just watching the video!

That gentleman is obviously highly skilled at handling that cartridge and gun, but it is astounding how closely I bet it would come to doubling due to recoil if it was a double action revolver.
Look at this screen capture from the video after he has done several shots and I am sure is tiring of the recoil and blast. In comparison there is a .45 at the height of the recoil arc and a .44 Magnum (although ported). Both with full power loads.

I think I stick with this is I ever go hiking in bear country...
It's easier to control, launches more lead, and is more powerful with Brenneke Black Magic Magnum slugs.
...a little hard to carry unobtrusive on your hip though...which is the purpose of those revolvers...

I'm thinking one should wear a helmet with a face shield when shooting a handgun with that much recoil.
...20 or so years ago I showed my 29-3 to a 73 year old gentleman who wasn't a "gun guy"...
...told him it was a "Dirty Harry" gun...
...he was fascinated...and said he had to try it...
...I loaded one round for him...and he took the shot...
...revolver came close to his forehead in recoil...
...he broke out in a big grin and said...WOW...
...didn't want to shoot it again however...

I'm liking it.......Some purtty darn good revolver shooting in that video.
Here's a pic of yours truly shooting the neighbor's 500....
I found it to be very exhilarating

To each their own, but I'd rather have a gun slung over my shoulder which is more powerful and easier to control.

Looks like a stegosaurus gun. Even when my hands were good I wouldn't have wanted to shoot that beast more than once.

No doubts at all about the power and potential effectiveness of that gun and caliber relative to other handguns.
However:
For ordinary mortals, folks who don’t have the size and strength of Schwarzenegger in his heyday, this better be a one-shot stop. The chance of fast and accurate follow-up shots is pretty much zero.
Even in the hands of this shooter, who appears well-practiced and sturdily built, the gun is borderline out of control near the end of the recoil phase.
If you fire this gun with anything less than a perfect grip and stance, maybe impeded by other equipment like a backpack, binoculars etc., something to be expected in an unexpected fast-developing wilderness confrontation with a charging bear, or if, heaven forbid, you have to fire it one-handed, you’ll likely find yourself in a one-shot gunfight.

Trigger finger in the guard prematurely from where I’m sitting. 
That is some fantastic shooting. Great video and post.
