In one of the video podcasts MB said it was a lot of fun.
Seems to long for pistol type shooting, and to short for rifle techniques.
I'll reserve judgement till I've tried one.

Don't get me wrong as I think they are cool.  I would by one if I had the disposable cash BUT....

The only advantage I can see over a good revolver is the ability to reload / top off.  Capacity is still 6 rounds.

Cons to a good revolver are two hand operation.

I don't see it as being as accurate as a revolver. In a weaver, or comparable stance, you have two hands bracing each other. With this you have two hands, but they are both extended independently with no bracing. As one of the comments said "There is absolutely no use for this gun. I want one".
FQ13 who has obviously watched too many episodes of firefly. Damn Zoe was cool!

Here's the theme with Joss Whedon singing it (and yeah, the mare's leg shows up).

I thought it would be useful in close spaces, with the xtra length the velocities would be quite more than a pistol, with the option of a bludgeon

Always nice to have options .

Like the ultra short Saige 12 Ga, Totally useless, but when can I order one

Between the extra barrel length and no cylinder gap, it gets a LOT more energy into the bullet. 

Definitely needs a unique shooting style.  It would make a great hunting handgun IMO, if you can master the accuracy. 

I definitely WANT one, especially at the affordable Rossi price.
