500 Smith & Wesson Magnum?

[RANGERRICK]

yote

If I remember correctly after Dirty Harry movies came out they ( gun makers ) could not keep up with the orders of hundreds of thousands of these big hand cannons . Most of them now lay in valts ,gun cabinets or dresser drawers never to be shot again , passing fad ?? it was for the ones that put them away but not for the ones that use them for hunting or just plinking like myself . Most firearms that are bought today are used on the range to never see the light of day in the woods hunting . I shoot BPCR with a bunch of guys that would not even think of taking those rifles into the woods , range only and these rifles range in $1000.00 to $5,000 and more just depends on what you want , waste of money ? not to them or me . The 500 is heavy compared to other revolvers , heavy for me ?? nope , Heavy for you yep . I actually wear my revolvers with a shoulder holster so not much extra weight there . I actually take breaks when I am hunting here in Alaska , I carry a backpack / packboard ,338 winchester mag and my revolver , heavy yes , do I take breaks yes . So the revolver being to heavy is in the eye of the beholder , not for all . Being to loud ?? hopefully your not shooting any firearm without hearing protection , one the range or out hunting , only a fool could care less about his hearing . I did at one time hunt without hearing protection , not anymore , did I mention that all of my firearms are big bore ?? smallest being 44 mag for revolvers and 45-120 for rifles . Sounds like you just called everyone that owns a 500 a fool , that would cover all the ones that own 50 A&E, 500 linebaugh and so on ?? or anyone that has a heavy one . I have to say you are very close minded , and it sounds like if we all that partake in shooting firearms do not bow down to your way of thinking we are fools and jokes . Good thing about being an AMERICAN and FREE is that we can have our own thoughts and even say them . I did pay $1100.00 dollars for the revolver 500 PC HUNTER and another $250.00 for the 4x28 mm Leupold scope , waste of money ?? not to me or the others that have bought them . Do the 500's have trouble in the cylinder's ? yes and they are being fixed , if you have not figured this out , sometimes new things do have bugs !!! My new Ford F150 50th golden anniversery have bugs ?? you bet , did they get fixed ?? yes !! My new dodge 1500 have bugs ?? yep , did it get fixed ? yep , so new things do have bugs , get them fixed , go on , no big deal .Come on yote think out of the box , not everyone can be like you !! Are you a democrat ????
