Right!?
In some fantasy or dieselpunk story I could see this being the emergency sidearm that some frontiersman or Oakley expy uses to dispatch a giant monster with a heart shot (maybe one that the main party was barely surviving fighting), or taking out a distant sniper with a scope shot, after dramatically spinning towards the muzzle flash and quickdrawing like they're John Marston.
It would honestly fit in either, so long as it's used by either a large man or small woman (mostly because I like the aesthetic), and really is the emergency "Oh shit" weapon.
In game I would restrict the ammo pool to one in the chamber, and five in reserve. Either ridiculously rare, ridiculously expensive, or requires very high tier materials to craft.
One shots every standard enemy, one shot heart or headshots any monster, and make it so that boss enemies are too fast or stealthy to reliably hit with it, along with them being able to take two or three shots from it.
It's modeled after a revolver, so it should be handled like an old-school revolver. Held in one hand, Olympic style shooting stance (or from horseback), and the recoil would be absorbed by the shooter twisting their arm with the force of the shell. Make it a longer animation too, break open to load, just to cement the weapon's place as an all or nothing measure and look even more like a deranged cowboy's T-Rex gun.

Across the street
Through a car
And a pedestrian
Also the safe wall
