I guess if this is a rationale for dropping a huge amount of coin, then go for it.

Me, I always ask "What will it be used for?" Then I purchase the appropriate firearm. If I was on a brown bear hunt or a safari for African lion, this would seem an appropriate choice. For punching holes in paper, or elk or smaller critters, it is not worth the investiture of time, money, and noise that accompany such a specialized, small niche, firearm.

For me a good .44 magnum or stout .45 Colt does 99% of what I need a revolver for. YMMV

However, there is always the Bigger is Better appeal...no denying that! Maybe that is an XY chromosome thing. Buy what makes you happy.
