"When the .44 Magnum laid claim to being the most powerful handgun in the world, its standard load produced about 900 ft.-lb. of muzzle energy. Several new loads have since eclipsed that, but the handgun most commonly used by big game hunters is the .454 Casull, which will generate about 1900 ft.-lb.

The 500 S&W Magnum will produce almost 2600 ft.-lb. with its heaviest load, and more powerful loads may well be on the way."

:shocked:

I just have to ask what are you going to do with it? I like Big Bore revolvers but I don't really have a need for one. I had a Ruger Redhawk 44 mag but even a little 44(compared to a 454 Casull) was a bear to shoot. Also what kind is it? I was looking at the S&W 500 at the shop the other day that thing is a monster.

LOL! Heh, I hefted a Smith .50 the other day, and I could see wanting to shoot one, but damn that's an expensive gun(ammo wise) to ever use at the range. Nice gun.

Shooting a 500 S&W Mag is no different than shooting a 44 mag.

Lots of muzzle rise, really big bang. As long as you know what you're doing its nothing special.

I will get some much better pics up tommorow ..:thumbsup:

<<<<<<<<<< Feelin all fuzzy inside..:laugh:

So I meet this guy and he hands me th box and I open it up and the thing is scratched all to hell !!!!:Q

I was told the was a month and a half old with 30 rds through it.....:laugh:
I mean all over the the end of the barrel and a big ol 4-5" down the riight side of the barrel and I was told it was a brushed stainless and it was that satin finish crap ...I am ready to just bitchslap this guy but I maintain and roll the cylinder out and without even putting a light down the tube I see a nice coating of rust and other build-up ???
I just looked at the guy and looking at me like what ??
I laid the gun down and walked away ....:disgust:

How can people be this utter ignorant or maybe he was hoping me to be a retard ???


What a let down,now I have to return all my goodies...:brokenheart:

Sorry to hear that. Buying used guns can be a crapshoot.

 

[Subzero]

I hear ya and that is why I ask the seller more than once about condition / damage,etc...but good lord..
The guy did not appear to be "challenged" or ??

I was sooo ready to go toss some slugs around today too ..




I mean I have bought and sold my share of artillery in my day but not even clean the damn thing before describing and trying to sell it is far betond me..


I will keep shopping and I thionk I am just going to hold out a hard-chrome one..

I need a :beer:

 

[TechnoKid]

I've read on online gun reviews sites that the .454 casul has more kick than a S&amp;W 500.

 

[waggy]

am i the only one who is happy shooting his .22? heh

beautiful gun though!

 

[StageLeft]

I'd go to a store and buy a new one, then shoot something up out of anger

 

[MacBaine]

Should have kept the gun, shot him, and taken your money back.

The thgought crossed my mind for a split second almost real.. :laugh:

He emailed me and said the reddish / brown crap in the barrel was dried lube ??
If that is what it was fine but still not a good habit to get in by not maintaing it ..:frown:

I still want it but not a his price,I would of had to drop $200 more to get it refinished ....:thumbsdown:
