    I’m sure The shitty A2 grip and the Amazon fore grip make it comfortable to shoot.
    *****Well yea, you'd probably have to wear oven mitts or something to pad your hands a bit as well as a helmet from the recoil on that thing. Having shot a .45-70 Thompson Contender before I have zero desire to shoot .50bmg in a pistol form!

    That has to be crazy loud as well so mebbe not the best option for home defense unless you wanna wake up the rest of the house, and every house in a very large town...

    I seem to remember that a .50 with a super short barrel like that loses so much power as to become pretty useless. Lots of flash and loud as hell, but less energy than a 30.06 with a 20" barrel.

    Edit: website says it has a 16.5" barrel. So I am confused.

    I don't even enjoy shooting my .50 bmg rifle... prone... it just hurts. I have zero desire to fire that. I'd imagine your hand would be pretty tenderized after 3 or 4 shots.
    Which do you have? Mine is a pussycat (BFG50A.) Literally could shoot it all day. People are always surprised how little recoil it has. I've shot the Serbus (semi and bolt), A Steyr bolt action, and Barret 107 semi and I dont think any of them hurt. Do you not have a big brake on yours?

    The gun in the OPs link I'd worry about. People have built true 50 pistols before. BMG powder is slow so in short barrels you lose a lot of velocity (and the recoil). The above gun has 16.5" though. That's going to develop quite a bit of velocity still. Could be very painful.
