shot a s&w 460, just bought a 500

[hofts]

went to the range and put 15 rounds thru the 500, some free hand, some off the bench. it is a very fun handgun, yes of course their is recoil but very manageable and definitely nothing to be afraid of.

i am not sure why some articles i've read from people who are experienced handgunners say that it is "brutal", and "not something i want to shoot again anytime soon", because it is just not that bad. would i want to shoot it all day long.......well probly not, but i never shoot anything all day long.

i even got lucky with open sites on my first try and hit the 6" plate at 200 yards with kentucky windage. was not able to hit it again in six tries.

i will say this though, i got excited and did not wear my ear protection on the first shot........wow, my eardrums still ache from that one shot.

i am looking forward to practicing and making this a 150 yard deer gun. i plan to scope it soon.
