I agree with the thought that if you want it, get it, enjoy it. I have some that way. Some people think my 500 is stupid, but I enjoy it. In Minnesota, at least where we were, you can't rifle hunt deer. But, during slug season I can use a handgun. The 500 shoots flat and true past 200 yards, and I took a buck at just over 150 yards with the handgun.
One thing I am looking forward to is reloading for the big handgun. Even with rounds developed for a short barrel thumper, it still wastes a lot of energy. I think that with the right powder, in the right proportions, I can get the same energy without the recoil. It works in my 2011 and 1911, so why not a cannon?
By the way, on the subject of guns people don't understand, I am still looking for a mare's leg in .357 with a loading gate (not a Henry). Not that Henry does not make a great gun, but I just want it my way.
