S&W Bone Collector
« on: August 14, 2010, 02:12:29 PM »

Is it just me or does the human skull in the antlers go too far and cheapen a good thing?

A nice hunting gun, and the European mount looks nice, but the human skull doesn't fit in my opinion.

When it comes to modern design, all most always, 'less is more'.  Less engravings, less colors, less human skulls.  'The Bone Collector' isn't exactly a classy name for a weapon either.  Same as 'The Judge', some firearms folks have been listening to too much metal...

Might make a cool tatoo

Saw it at the NRA Show in Charlotte. The other S&W 500 series X-frames were/are monster pistols....The picture does not do it justice as to its size.

The bell & whistle engraving does nothing for me, the standard 500 in SS is fine. Especially when the zombies drive dump trucks.

But seriously, that thing is BIG!!!.

If you hunt people with it the skull is appropriate.  :)

Yeah, those tags are expensive though, and all the paper work...

The Logo is Michael Waddells's who is a very nice guy and has a good hunting show, also on OC, it commerates his show, if you are defending your life against another human with a .500 mag, it is because its the only  gun you own, or its all you have with you, full house .41 mag is about as high as I go for control and power, demonstrated it for 65 rds, split my hand open at 50, but continued, just hated bleeding on the revolver, 4" S&W 57, these were 210 grn 1400 fps loads. What I use for hunting.

Not much into engraving period. I like plain wood and case colors on my side by sides. However, while the skull is a bit tacky and in your face, it is a 10.5" .500 revolver. Subtle it ain't! ;D Its kind of like putting Yosemite Sam mud flaps and a Dale Earnhardt sticker on your jacked up 4wd F-350. Why the hell not? You're not fooling anbody any way. ;D
