Whenever anyone questions why you've bought any particular gun just reply, "because it delights me you joyless scold!"
I've had this conversation about my .45 Colt Anaconda a couple of time and I am fully aware that they made and make them in .44 Magnum.
Don't care.
That giant gun in the, by modern standards, under-powered round gives me the giggles and I really can't see anything changing that.
Strangely, I never see them complain about a S&W 25-5 when the Model 29 is the same gun except in .44 Magnum...
I get the same delight from my useless .25 ACP guns.
I went out of my way to find a .38 Super Gov't Model in as plain-Jane trim as I could get and then "ruined" it by putting a short trigger and arched mainspring housing on it. It delights me to do so.
Having a clone of an M16, M16A1, M16A2 and M16A4 delights me.
The XM177E2 clone delights me even though I had to make a short barrel rifle of it and am only a fraction of an inch shorter than a 16" barrel with the moderator screwed onto the end of the 11.5" barrel.
The purple AR delights me.
The people who are grimly utilitarian about gun ownership should really start relaxing.
Once your needs are met, Maslow, you can move up the pyramid.
