S&@ has NO EXCUSE for what they did. They could have set the standard at reasonable levels, and, the guns would last.
40K, and, you still have a VERY powerful gun.
S&@@ as small gun?
BFR with the short cylinder, in .475 is FAR better value wise.
S&@ is banking on the fact that shooting the gun alot is not good for your health, and, few folks can actually shoot the gun enough to log enough rounds to hurt the gun, and, I'm only talking 1k.
The .500JRH is really what the 500 S&@ should have been.
5-6 feet of buffalo, and, with 25% more recoil then a 44...
Compound that, with a bunch of REALLY cheap, MIM parts, in a 1200 dollar revolver, and, I'm sorry, but, I'm a S&@ hater...
And, I learned that from my 360PD. A 12 oz gun, with cheap MIM parts, with a trigger pull @ 15 pounds, or more, and, feels like 40 grit sandpaper, for, 1000 dollars?
