Behold, My New Toy...

[Flea21]

The winter is here and I hate shooting rifles in sub 40 degree temperatures so Im back to shooting pistols and expanding on that collection. I bought a few wheelguns the past couple weeks.. First was an EAA 4" .357 Magnum, Second is a Taurus 608 8 shot 4" .357 Magnum and Third is this beauty, a Smith & Wesson 500. Yep, today is a good day!

I'd love to have one of those, but three bucks per BANG for ammo seems a little excessive to me. Anyway, beautiful gun, hope you can afford to feed it!

 

[Flea21]

Ha. Yea, thx buddy. I reload so its more like $1.00 per bullet. Still no slouch, but alot better than $3.00 each. Im that nice stranger you meeg at the range that lets you shoot my guns if you ask me about them so if youre ever my way, ill have 5 shots ready for you!!

looks heavy, does it balance in your hands?

 

[Mastrogiacomo]

A better question - how do you hold it?

That things a hand cannon. Bring enough ear protection for everyone around you when firing.

 

[Backwoodsboy]

Very nice firearm, make sure to give us a range report when possible. Thanks for the pics.

You are going to love shooting the 500. If you want a really loud bang, use 296 or H110 when you reload.

 

[Ruger480]

Is that your new CCW?

 

[Flea21]

Thanx for the reloading tips.. I have a pound of 296 on the shelf as well so this is gonna be good!

I have no use or interest in a 500 but I'm glad you got what you wanted. More power to you (pun intended.)

Ha, Thx. Its really just to make my brother jealous.

 

[michaelnel]

Your brother gets jealous when your hand hurts?

 

[Flea21]

Haha.. No, I just bought it before him.

If I had the cash I would have at least one Smith and Wesson revolver in each caliber they offer. Of course I'm not rich so I have had to settle for 22lr and .357mag Smiths. I'm planning on getting a .44mag but I'm afraid the .500 is way down my list, not because of lack of desire but economics. By the way Flea21, NICE revolver! Your brother is not the only one who's jealous.

 

[Flea21]

Thanx buddy.. you'll have what you want someday. Just place a picture of what you want on the fridge, thays what I do. The best part is taking them down.
