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

"I suppose if you are a "collector" of S&W revolvers, it is one you might
like to have. I've watched a handful of videos of "professional"
shooters firing it off at various targets, and it doesn't seem as if it
were much fun to shoot...really heavy revolver, lots of recoil and
muzzle flip, loud, expensive ammo. We don't have much "grizz" around
here, and if I really needed a revolver for "defense," I think my .357
MAG is more than sufficient.

$3 a pop for ammo? Now *that* is a giggle."




You would need a bloated 'Uncle Sam' pension to afford that ammo.


Well, reloading might be cheaper, but you'd have to have the reloading
equipment and the consumables. I don't reload at all, so I have no idea
what it might cost.
