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

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! |

That is particularly true if I was just doing point and shoot drills. I agree you should do some training with the full power load but a lot is just as effective with a reduced charge. Cheaper too since you could shoot cast bullets at subsonic speeds. |

I think I'd be more suitable for a rifle cartridge myself

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. |
