I had an old wise man tell me one time that "it's better to have a gun and never need it than to need a gun and never had it."

A few months ago I acquired my latest side arm, a little Smith & Wesson called the 500. 2600 ft./lbs of muzzle energy. Even if I miss I have 5 rounds to blast through cars ,bricks walls, stuff. Flashes pretty cool at night. Pretty fun to fire at a indoor range. Plink away with a 22 or 9mm so your neighbor smirks at you for using a light load for such a big guy then wait for him to fire and have your buddy tap your shoulder. Pull the 500 out and watch him wet himself. Mean yes, but good fun.

 

Yes the S&W .500 mag looks like hella fun. Kudos to S&W having the cojones to conceive such a politically incorrect weapon. Makes 44 mags and 454 casulls look like peashooters thus rendering them obsolete. I've always been a big fan of S&W revolvers, esp. the K & L frames. Ergonomics is second to none, and the potential to improve the already near perfect DA trigger and out of the box accuracy is unparalled. I've got a few pics of my highly modded NRA Action Pistol/Bianchi "Cup revolver" I'd like to upload, but I'm not a member......argh!
