At first glance that .577 round looked like a 40 mm short.

From Wiki

The .577 Tyrannosaur or .577 T-rex is a type of cartridge developed by A-Square in 1993 for big game hunting in Africa. The .577 contains a .585-inch (14.9 mm) diameter 750-grain (49 g) Monolithic Solid Projectile which when fired moves at 2,460 ft/s (750 m/s) producing 10,180 foot-pounds force (13,800 J) of muzzle energy.[

10,180 Foot Pounds! Uffda!

Don't think there will be a handgun taking that round.
