RIP John Linebaugh -- creator of the big bore handgun cartridges and revolvers that bear his name -- the .475 Linebaugh and .500 Linebaugh which make the mighty .44 Magnum feeble in comparison.
Linebaugh believed a big bore handgun used for big game hunting or protection from critters with teeth and claws should be "packable" -- capable of comfortable all day carry in the field with an outside the waistband holster strong side or cross draw. He succeeded by converting Ruger Blackhawk SA revolvers with Bisley grips in .475 or .500 at his custom shop in Cody, WY.
