I realize the DE's aren't practical for defensive purposes for a number of reasons. The top ones being reliability and difficulty with follow up shots. But you have to admit those things are cool looking. I like the Polished Chrome and Nickel finishes better than plain black though. I would love to add a DE to my collection somewhere down the rode just for shits and giggles. A good reason not to use a magnum load to defend your house is that those high velocity loads tend to go right through walls while maintaining lethal velocity, something to think about if you have a family or neighbors. Same goes for shotgun slugs, just thought I would mention that while we were on the subject. Sorry for going off on a tangent. Happy gunning to all...
