What the hell is this lol.

I'm no pistol expert, but all I see is a pistol with shotgun shells which say 'magnum' on them.

The new Dirty Harry pistol?

There are the ones.

Not exactly the new Dirty Harry pistol though as they shoot .45 bullets and .410 bore shot. Those aren't 12 gauge shells pictured or anything like that.

Don't know about you but I'd rather get hit by some shot from a .410 bore than with a .44 magnum :D

Back to the pistol though... I assume this would be a no-go in Australia because of the shotgun element?

I imagine that would get up a few peoples noses?

Well you have to be doing competition shooting for pistol license here. Any comes you can use 5-shot revolver in .45 in? That might be the avenue to get it.
