And sadly, some rich guy is gonna buy one, shoot it, realize they still cant hit chit, and it’ll go in a safe never to see the light of day again.

I’d think the only people interested would be the target crowd and it’s much too light for that.
Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Are you sure just two? Seems like a three or four type gun.

That transition from the receiver to the barrel ruins it for me. That’s the only thing holding me back.

Had a buddy that I worked with in SE Texas that could shoot very well and his FIL wanted him to shoot live pigeons for him in competition down south of the border but he didn’t have his gun with him. FIL said he had a spare, just come with him, so he did. My buddy shot poorly and he blamed it on FIL telling him to be careful with his MIL’s $35,000 gun. This was in the late 1980’s.

As the late Col. Jeff Cooper described double action in an auto pistol: "an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem".
But the gun business has NEVER been interested in practicality...

Nor have gun buyers, and therein lies the cause.

The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.
