Well damn that's a hell of a weapon.......how's the recoil?

Can say my .454 Casull with a 6" barrel is not much fun to shoot. Can't imagine a .500 Smith being fun either from a 4" tube.

I too have a Smith 500 with a 4 inch barrel. It is fun to shoot and it is truly a hand cannon. Worth the excitement of the recoil and leaves the wrist,elbow and sometimes the shoulder wondering what happened. Just saying!

One reason I switched to a Glock Model #20 in 10mm with 15+1 rounds, plus an extra clip. If a bear is on top of me, I don't want to be concerned with turning a cylinder to fire. Too each their own, but I love mine.

Thanks Tom.....been wanting to try one.

Of course if it was all I had between me & a bear I doubt I would notice the recoil at the moment!

I would be curious how well a FN 5.7 would do....20 rounds makes a lot of swiss cheese.

Chief,

Kicks like a mule, but it is all business at the other end!

GALCO made a holster for it that is the most comfortable carry you would ever want.

I did shoot the 8 3/8" but I found it to be very front heavy. The 4" is well balanced with rubber grips that soften the blow. It certainly is not a gun for anyone that is recoil sensitive.

Felt very secure in bear country with my little friend.

Tom,
I guess when you touch that off,you pretty well that the bull pooped in the buckwheat!!!!

I have a Diamond D,guide holster that I use for my Ruger Alaskan (44 mag). Very comfortable.

Pappy,
It is called a magazine and not a clip!!! Now drop and give me 25!!
