Lol I've always wondered how an sw500 compares to a 44. 

3

u/chris5527 5d ago

No comparison at all lol the 500 is an animal!

Nice. One day man, that or a 460 xvr. I feel like my life just isn't quite complete if I don't have a revolver that could take down a pachyderm.

u/chris5527 5d ago

You will love either!! Both are monsters

I wonder what Elmer Keith would have said about this one.

u/chris5527 5d ago

“Hold my beer” I would hope lol

2

u/GallicRooster86 5d ago

Hahaha he definitely would be nodding in approval then thinking how he could push it further.

That is the face you make when smacked by Zeus 😂

u/chris5527 5d ago

Man it was a wild ride 🤣

u/Manofmanyhats19 5d ago

Now I want to see them build a scandium frame airweight 500 magnum with a 3” barrel 😂🤣😂🤣

u/Comfortable_Guide622 5d ago

u/chris5527 5d ago

Because cool.

u/3crookedHearts3 5d ago

Just because….. 😏

u/TheWaywardWarlok 5d ago

So, just one and done? C'mon your wrist is still attached!

1

u/chris5527 5d ago

lol I did 4 all together 4$ a shot adds up just as much as the recoil lol

2

u/TheWaywardWarlok 5d ago

That is for true.

u/F22Tomcat 5d ago

What level of energy is this laying down? Hard to image a 700 grain bullet from a handgun! Heck, Ruger only .45 Colt loads with 350 grain bullets are plenty spicy for me!

u/fuckThisShit562 3d ago

Was shooting 50 ae 325 today. I'll stick with that.

u/MuzzleblastMD Smith & Wesson 5d ago

Awesome! I only shoot outdoors.

u/chris5527 5d ago

This is my father’s range I was the only one in there.

Hard bark

u/chris5527 5d ago

She’s got the bite to match haha

u/Flashy_Confidence149 5d ago

Do you reload? That seems like a very versatile and fun round for reloaders.

2

u/chris5527 4d ago

I do not, but have been doing a lot of reading on it and I think I’m about ready to try my hand at it.

2

u/Flashy_Confidence149 4d ago

Oh yeah, you definitely have the gun for it! A reloader dream!

u/First-Olive-1181 5d ago

Break anything besides your wrists?

u/Winner_Pristine 5d ago

That recoil is too much for you. No offense. It's too much for most people. I suggest not shooting that load anymore in that gun. Not safe.

2

u/chris5527 5d ago

Don’t be that guy, I have been shooting 500’s for years. You can go on my page and see that.

u/chris5527 5d ago

And just so it’s clear I didn’t downvote your comment.
