I like it. Wouldn’t wanna shoot it tho, maybe if in 20 or 28gauge!
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!
It would be really cool if it fired the 12ga shell first, then fed in a chamber/barrel adapter which allowed you to shoot 8 rounds of 45 ACP right behind it, all without racking the slide...

Ouch!
I wonder if a 'bubba' has tried shooting slugs outta that!
I'd try it. I was warned about recoil when I picked up my first 44 Magnum, a 629. After I fired a cylinder of factory 240 JHP my friend asked me "whut do ya think?". I couldn't answer for a few minutes 'cause I was grinnin' from ear to ear but finally said "what recoil?"...

There is a YouTube video of a 12 gauge Rossi single shot pistol being shot with slugs. The recoil and muzzle flip are amazing, Elmer would be proud. Todd/3leg

Somewhere on YouTube there is a .600 nitro t/c contender that was a handful, dont think anyone could hold it under recoil. Full house 12 ga slug not far off the mark.
I'd rather shoot my 629 25 times than a 12 ga slug gun!
Two weekends back, I took a Technician from work and a friend of his to the gun range. They tried my Super RedHawk in .480 Ruger. They both were grinning, but declined the offer to try it a second time. I shot it another 6 shots. My grouping on that cylinder full was 4 in the bullseye and 2 in the 10 ring at 10 yards. They were impressed, and I thought I need a lot more practice. We then fired my .44 Magnum, then my 10mm. I hadn't been to the range but two times in probably 8 months before that. I really need to practice. As bad as I feel I was, I would probably flinch after 1 or 2 rounds out of that pistol with the 12 gauge shell.

You know, in 20 ga that would be one heck of a snake gun.
