This was my SW 500 that winged me, the Ruger Alaskan 44mag never had
this happen.
My thumb must have got near the gap. Its fine today, just a little pin hole
but man did it bleed. I wiped all the blood on my shirt, walking back home
from where I park my car the liberals in my area stared and gave me a wide berth,
arr those f'ing pansies.
I put a ton of rounds thru the 500, the web of my hand is all red but not too
sore. I just need to toughen that area up. The good news is my 44mag now feels
like a .22

Those 2800ft/lb Win Platinum Tips are mini nukes.
I sold my HK 45 for $300 to a friend, now I am just carrying 44mag and 500mag
in front pockets.
Thanks for the help!
