    Default 500 magnum

    nothing important, just took ol' painless to the range today. i'm always amazed at the power the gun has. even let a few other guys shoot it today, what a rush.

    It's my favorite hand cannon to shoot. It's always fun to blow up gallon jugs with it. The gun itself draws in the all of the other shooters in awe.

    I haven't seen a .500 at any Pgh. Group Shoots...I'd like to hang on to one for a few rounds also!

    Shot the 10" version at the range once, it was nice. Not a lot of muzzle flip, and it was more like a firm push than "kick".

    Too bad it costs so much to shoot.

    I've shot 5 rounds out of the 8.5" version and was very surprised that it was far more manageable than I had expected. Perhaps it was all of the porting on the front of the barrel?

    Now the 2.75" version on the other hand... I couldn't possibly imagine shooting that thing. Ugh, that must be horrible to shoot. That being said, I'll buy the ammo if anyone has a 2.75" version that they're willing to let me shoot.

    I've shoot .50 AE from an semi auto Desert Eagle several times and it's not bad at all...wonder how that compares to a .500?
