can somebody explain the rationality behind snub nose ultra powerful revolvers? i simply do not understand this. why would you want a 454, 460, or 500 magnum in a short barrel where it would develop way less power than it should. i understand not wanting a 10" + barrel, but it just does not make sense to me to buy a revolver like that which needs at least a 6" barrel to develop most of its power. it seems like if you are going to use this for a survival anti-bear gun, you would want it to make as much power as it could while still being carryable. i understand the concealability of a snub nose, but do we need to ccw for a bear? it seems like this is the role even the manufacturer intends for them, as they call them "alaskans". i really dont see the need for one of these for ccw in the urban jungle. people are easy to kill. it seems like all you are accoplishing with a snub nose is making a lot of noise and a huge fireball when you shoot it.
