Lemme break this down for you Barney style since the other thread apparently failed to maintain your TL;DR attention span:

- Two generic-rare and largely antiquated calibers: .45 Long Colt and .410 shotgun (harder to find, more expensive than 9/40/45)
- Monstrous handgun twice as bulky as a G34 while holding less than a third of the ammo (not suited for concealed carry)
- Double action revolver pull means you're either fighting a heavy trigger every time or having to cock the hammer (do those under stress)
- Revolver offers increased reliability (in theory) over an automatic but at the cost of being slower/more awkward to reload under stress
- Doesn't do anything that a G19 can't do better, faster and cheaper (scripture states that Jesus Christ himself carries a Glock 19)
- May suffer from mechanical problems, Taurus is an iffy brand at best (hence "Lifetime Warranty" printed on everything they wave)

I hope this Cliff's Notes version helps. If that doesn't clear it up, check out AR15.com, M4Carbine.net, etc. for reviews on this fugly beast.

The Bubba Cannon is a junk gun cash cow fad and a whimsical toy, not something you use to defend yourself or your family.

Do yourself a favor and buy a compact 9mm service pistol first. If you want something fun later, go for the Judge.

It'll be fun for however long you shoot it before it becomes a safe queen / conversation piece.
