Default I knew a "500" S&W was good for something...

Actually this fellow is a terrific shot who has posted some amazing
firearm vids, if you are into that sort of thing.

He did get a snack out of this shoot.
It was interesting how fast it shed the energy on the watermelons

I'd be reluctant to shoot and waste a tasty watermelon!

I'm not sure what the hell you'd want a revolver that size for, other
than shooting watermelons. It sure isn't something you'd be able to
handle quickly and properly if you were in Alaska and were about to be
eaten by a huge bear.

I am not sure why you couldn't handle it quickly. The follow up shot
may be a bit slower but you should be able to get on target pretty
quickly if you handle the gun enough to be comfortable with it.

This is the kind of gun that almost demands that you reload.
You could load up some stuff at .45 ACP ballistics to get used to
pointing the gun, then load full power to get used to the recoil, if
that is possible.


It's not that bad and there are YouTube videos of women shooting it with
one hand!
