No, joke, a hand-held elephant gun, the Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Magnum. And, if you think that’s too big, you can get the down-sized version in .458 Winchester Magnum. So, next time you’re camping or hiking, you will be ready for those pesky rogue elephants.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Think this came a century late,would have made a good Howdah Pistol when going after them pesky maneater tigers,saw a Double hammered Howdah Pistol in .577,usp was if tiger charges the elephant use the Pistol.Think they should add another pound of lead weights on this otherwise the recoil is gonna make one wonder, whether one was better off with the elephant/tiger or the Revolver ROTFL :cheers:

I wouldn't really want that caliber in a handgun unless its a gift for someone who is a "true friend" :twisted:
