It's purely a last ditch effort. I certainly would do a much better job if I were doing it for fun, but I assume that a character would do a hack job, especially if their lives were in immediate danger, etc. etc.

I still think it's a larger handgun than a Model 19 and the dummy rounds aren't for the gun. Also they look more like .44 special, which 'may' load in a .44 magnum in a pinch, but not well.....
