well, been wanting one for years now, and finally bit the bullet so to speak.
so far, have not even fired the 500. i know i know, but i've got mild loads and some holy ---- loads. even though i havent fired it yet, it sure is fun to pull out and look at it, and the ammo. i have never been so content with a weapon without even firing it.

the 460 was a blast however. yes, plenty of recoil, but manageable and fun. i will give further postings.

btw i got a s&w model 500 7.5" barrel from the performance center. the 460 i shot was the exact same gun i mean fun, and i don't expect too much difference until i shoot the heavier grains.
definately not something to take lightly though.!!!

after the mall shootings in omaha, i think i will be using my concealed carry permit a little more. at least thats how i justified the purchase to my wife!!!
that one hit a little close to home as i go to omaha quite often, my brother in law's sister was at von maur just 40 minutes earlier.
happy holidays to all.
