I bought my first one shortly after they originally came on the market - a .44 mag with the vent rib barrel and "shot shell choke" - for shooting the .44 shot shell cartridges as well as .44 mag when the choke was out. Still have that barrel around somewhere. Later I went through a .45 Colt/.410 barrel, a .223, a .30/30, and I think I recall a .22 Hornet. Also a few more in .44 mag. The one I still use the most is a 14" .44 mag barrel fitted with a suppressor and mounted on a "carbine" shoulder stock (with an SBR permit). I mostly shoot suppressed loads in it, and it makes a VERY efficient feral hog gun. I have a .30/30 AI barrel, and probably a few more I don't remember right now. Do have an "AA" (Armor Alloy) frame with nice wooden stock and fore end I really like, also. Have had and sold a few others over the years.

VERY enjoyable firearms to shoot, and also can be practical and useful.
