I own a Constrictor Maxi.
I have some mixed feelings about it, despite generally loving it.
Like the Raging Bull, it has crap grips (plastic, not that comfortable unless you're wearing gloves) and is skirmish -impractical (virtually impossible to holster, only 6 rounds, its slower reloading a revolver than an automatic, even with a speedloader).
However, that being said, it's impressively big (the top deck can mount an M4 carry handle, to give you an idea of size), it's heavy, it has a lot of metal, asides from the grips the non-metal parts seem metallic enough (given the heft, you never really question it), it uses shells, it handles green gas/propane, it packs a nasty punch and it's scary accurate.
In the right situation, I'd skirmish this gun, but not as a sidearm; it has great accuracy and more power than stock "shorty" AEGs, so you can really make those 6 shots count.
Double action is a long, hard pull... but in SA you get a nice crisp hairtrigger action. The rear sight is adjustable for elevation and windage, hopup is adjustable, and the feature that drew me to this (i'm not a fan of antique firearms in general) was that it has a generally modern/scifi-ish look to it (point of interest, the gun is generally based off of a Colt Anaconda, with a customized barrel and rails added - so the gun IS "custom", i.e., Colt doesn't produce a "Constrictor")
You can easily add a variety of optics onto the top rail (hey you had you get a custom holster anyway, so why not) and the bottom rail will fit a tactical light (the 2x CR123a Xenon bulb type) without it protruding past the barrel (ditto on holstering that setup).
One last caveat, the gun is very heavy (~1.3 kg without accessories) and the posterchild for unbalanced (the grip being at the rear, BEHIND all the actual weight); you'd be best be working out if you plan on aiming this gun steadily with one hand.
