500 Smith & Wesson Magnum?

[Andy L]

I dont see the problem either. I didnt read the whole thread word for word, but did get the tone.

Have all you guys that have talked of how much injury these things can cause actually shot one? Or is it speculation?

I have shot alot of big bore handguns over the years, not as much as some of you, Im sure, but more than your average Joe. Recently, I got the chance to shoot a 454 Casual. It was violent. Almost too much. As I write this, I have a 500 SW with a 4" bbl in my safe. Just got it the other day. Borrowed it from a friend to take on a bear hunt. I was more than nervous the first time I fired it. Its not bad at all, for what it is.

I know for a fact that gun doesnt do to me what the 454 did. Not even close. And I have shot 44 Mags that I would dread shooting agian, much more than the 500 SW that I got right now. Matter of fact, Im going this evening to bust a few more caps in it. Nice gun.
