I'm late to the party here. Haven't been on the site in months. But I sold my custom revolvers a few years back to pay some unexpected bills. But if I'm ever in this situation, I hope it's after I have been able to replace the Ruger Super Blackhawk in 500JRH that I had.

Other than firepower, a large caliber gun also has the element of percussion / noise as a deterrent. Pffffft... from a can of spray won't wake a freakin baby. But If you don't think the noise from a 500JRH is significant enough to add at least some effect in this tent situation, you've obviously never experienced it.

I'm not saying the noise will be the most effective part, but it sure will be an added bonus.
