TR,
I've handled one of the .45-70 revolvers and it's owner had shot it.
"Owner" was Col. Rex Applegate. Why did he have one? Because he could.
On serious note, handguns have to be shootable. I've shot "stupid" calibers before, stuff that makes a .44 magnum feel like a .22. You can get real injuries from recoil, the stuff that doesn't heal very well.
