Like others before me stated, you can always get your money out of it later if it's not your cup of tea.

A friend of mine was fascinated by them for a while. His had a longer barrel, I think it was 8". He handloaded almost all his ammo, and I got to shoot it quite a bit. He sold it for close to the same amount that he paid. I liked it, but the .44 Mag is as big as I need, and I usually shoot a target load through those anyway.

If you don't reload already, you'll want to consider it if you want to shoot more than just a little.

Edit: Wow, I didn't read the date of the OP!
