Now that is the way a 500 should look ... at least that is why I invested in it  ;D

If I had a working camera you would get the current look with a real nice Eotech on top  ;D

What do you do with a gun like that?  Mostly plink, but it is great for whitetail at well over 100 yards.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

if It didn't have that skull deal I'd buy it.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

10.5 inches and four pounds unloaded? You've obviously been working out your forearms! ;D When a pistol advertises swing swivels as a standard option, I tend to pause. The engraving is the least of my concerns. An interesting gun for a niche market, which it will probably fill nicely, but I want something as powerful and a lot shorter. I'm looking at delivering a bear smacker at 100 feet, not 100 yards, and I want to wear it in a hip holster.

while working at a FFL I got to play with one of the protypes...  it was 100 oz empty...  graco has a sweet holster for the x frame...IMO its reason enough to buy one.

Richard - You ever shoot a .44 mag?

Less felt recoil and more comfortable than that!

That said, fifty rounds in an afternoon, and you will feel it in your elbows.  Even knowing that I just can't stop plinking ... pass the asprin bottle please  :-\

Owned a 61/2" 29 for a while and shot it a lot with FE reloads but that was when I was a lot younger and my wrists and albows were in better shape.  Would love to have a 4" 29 but have other things more.

PS:  Would not under any circumstances shoot full house loads in a 4".  JMHO

Thats kind of like your African Big Game rifle. You shoot it enough to be accurate, but not so much as to develop a flinch. A hundred rounds or so spread out over days, check your zero, but otherwise leave it alone unless you're shooting at game. Its why I am attracted to the Cassul, you can shoot .45s all day long. Though if you reload, you could make some weak ones for the .500. One more reason to buy the supplies I suppose.

Why by the .454 then  ???  If you are going to shoot .45 lc, buy a .45 lc.  I have an assortment of the small calibers, but I wanted a big boy, and I shoot a big boy with big boy ammo.

If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen!!!
