Poorly designed? I wouldn't say that, it's a very technically sound weapon. Why? Because it's using rounds that only revolvers can use, and it's doing it well. It's just one of those weapons that serve in a real niche market that has no place on any sort of combat situation. One of those rich guns or redneck guns.

Of course, I'm not trying to push my opinion that the DE sucks on everybody. I do like how it looks in black; and I'm suspect to using it on RP's myself (usually in .357.). Because it has a bit of a dramatic effect to everything that's easier for people who aren't so gunofied like myself to get as "Holy shit, really big boomstick"
