    Default I have a date with Mr.500 tomorrow...

    An acquaintance has graciously invited me to shoot his S&W .500 magnum, and I feel like a kid on the night before Christmas. Attending the soiree will be five watermelons, five cantaloupe, and perhaps some pineapple. I was also told something about 500gr rounds.

    I'll document the fun in HD video for you hooligans. I think I'm gonna double up on ear pro too.

    It's the 8.38 inch model. I don't think I'd want to shoot the 2.5 inch(?) model more than once.

    Double hearing protection, for sure. I am more amazed by the percussion from the thing. And we can hold it in our hand. I love America!

    I'd love to shoot one of those monsters! From what I understand, the recoil isn't all that bad due to it's weight and the compensator but yeah, I'd imagine it's real loud! Looking forward to the video! Have fun!

    Have fun and interested to see your reactions. I'm not sure how any could go through 500 rounds of 500sw, may have to ice down the hands afterwards.

    LOL. 500 grain rounds, not 500 rounds.
