Does anyone have a .500 S&W?

[JM Ver. 2.0]

Let's try this again...

Mods: This thread doesn't belong in the wanted section. I DO NOT want to buy the gun. I just want to shoot it. If this some how does warrant being in the wanted section PM me first.

I'm looking to SHOOT a .500 S&W revolver. I got an itch to shoot something big last night and the biggest handgun I could come up with was the ol .500.

I was curious is anyone here owns one and would like to join me at the firing line down in Aurora Tuesday. I'll buy the ammo and you can keep whatever is left over for your time. I might shoot 5 rounds total.

A .50 AE Desert Eagle would serve the same purpose. Same deal on that one with the ammo.

If anyone wants to just join me for some fun on Tuesday you're all welcome to show up at about 11:30 on Tuesday at The Firing Line. Thanks.

I'm gonna see if I can get Chris's high speed camera and see if we can video tape the event. I know we used some footage when we set up my bow awhile ago.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

Nice. Probably do a better job than my phone.

Now the secret is out... I wanna take a slow motion video of me, or anyone else, shooting the .500.

[Zundfolge]

The .50 AE is a pussycat compared to the .500S&W Mag ... that said, I find the .454 Casull and its new big brother the .460S&W Mag to be much harder on the shooter.

It's more about muzzle blast, really... Lol. But, having never shot anything over .357 mag. I'm open to suggestions.

I ordered mine with a 45 ACP cylinder. That way when the Casull flinch starts up I can remember what it is to not get beat up.

The worst ammo is the factory 260 gn ammo. Ugly recoil. Never again will I shoot them.

My 378gn Linotype flat points going about 1300 fps are pretty mild all things considered.

I'll have to remember that.... That's what I'm looking for. Ugly recoil that looks good in slow motion.

Interesting, I found just the opposite between the 500 and the 460, of course it depended greatly on the load and the barrel length. While the 460 was punishingly loud (although they are both ridiculously loud), the stock break of the 460, I think made it much better on the 8 3/8 models.

Still sold off my 460 because I just didn't shoot it anymore.

I'll have to remember that.... That's what I'm looking for. Ugly recoil that looks good in slow motion.

If you really just want some ugly recoil I have a S&W 329PD (scandium frame .44 mag) that feels like you are getting hit in the hand with a baseball bat with heavy loads. Its 25oz. empty and the 6 rounds of .44 mag weigh almost as much as the pistol. I haven't shot the .500 but I have heard that this thing is rougher than a .500 with regard to recoil.

It works really well for what I bought it for but its not a pleasure to shoot with mags. Its not bad with specials though.

[Bailey Guns]

I gotta say, for a .22WMR, the PMR30 had a REALLY impressive muzzle blast. About the same as that .454 photo, except in bright daylight. Lot cheaper to shoot, too!

If you want ugly recoil, I have the Ruger Alaskan in 454 Casull. Only a 2 1/2" barrel.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

Ok... So here's what the plan is.... My buddy up there, MileHighOutlaw, is going to get a hold of a high speed camera. Add into that the really big guns... You can probably put two and two together...

As soon as I know when we can get the camera I'll post it up. If you want to come shoot in front of the camera, bring the big ones, small ones, any ones you want. It'll be a good time and maybe we'll get some cool shots.

Im sure the 329PD would look really nice. BIG muzzle flash, BIG recoil, BIG noise, you get the idea.

[dwalker460]

I was at Cherry Creek when a shooter next to me opened up with a .460 with about a 8" or so barrel. The concussive force of the muzzle blast was enough to move my spotting scope every time he shot.

[tmleadr03]

Sounds excessive... kinda want. Don't like hurting my hands though.

[soldier-of-the-apocalypse]

One of my buddies has a .460s&w and I went to the firing line with him one day, and I shot that cannon and it knocked the broom of the wall behind me. Also that gun shoots 45lc 454casull and 460

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I am all about knocking shit off the walls.

[mevshooter]

I had a snub nose .44 special for a few months... after that beast I don't think I'll ever go above .357 magnum.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I like where this thread is going... No drama. No bullshit. Just good discussion.

[Atrain1]

They were really hot loads and there is no sharp edges on the gun. I am supposed to be picking one up just like it.

Yes sir. I'll put them all on YouTube. There will be a special surprise in all of them too, but I can't say what it is.... ;)

[JM Ver. 2.0]

I'm excited for this... I think Tuesday I'll go test it out withe the .357 and some hot loads.... Maybe a few 9s and a 40. Then when DSB can come out and play.... We'll get the big guns goin.

Anyone wanna come down to the firing line tomorrow? 720-480-1310. Text me so I can buy the ammo.

[Atrain1]

I didnt picture you to be such a delicate flower...I am not and I love shooting big gun, but what ever he had for bullets were not fun. I happen to get the last five thankfully. He was shooting 45 LC out of it and did that to me for kicks.

What time are you heading over there? I'm not sure I can make it, but I brought the hand bruiser with me.

[MileHighOutlaw]

Looking at heading over around noon after some nom's over at L&L. Lunch anyone?

Nice flash, which gun was that?

[JM Ver. 2.0]

We didn't have anyone with the big ones that could show up... That's a .357 with PDX1 rounds.

How long do you have the slomo cam? I might be available on Sunday morning. But week days are out for now.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

Those videos were done with my phone. I'll always have that. Lol. I don't know of we'll have the other that long. I'll find out.
