Greg, the .500 is a lot more powerful

OK I did look it up.

The .50 is capped at 36000 pounds of pressure and the 500 can go up to
60000. That means the muzzle energy can be at least 1000 ft/p greater.

It sounds more like a good caliber for a carbine than a handgun

They have bullets up over an ounce moving at over 1500 fps which puts
you in the 12ga slug category.



Quick followup shots are a bitch. Seriously. If a bear is after you and
you miss with the first shot, which is likely, you'll be joining Mr.
Griz for lunch. Of course, in Florida, it's the perfect Stand Your
Ground revolver, eh?

Brain fart again

Maybe you should try some Beano.

You are really incapable of civil conversation.



This is rec.boats. I tried "civil" for several months here, from
December through the end of February. Same old right-wing assholes
acting like right-wing assholes. There's no point in being "nice" in
this sewer.

My point about the .500 S&W is perfectly valid. Quick followup shots
are a bitch, and if you miss the bear, the bear is going to have you for
lunch. You disagree, eh?

Well, I have shot a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull. It's a bitch to
handle, and, really, not that much fun. The .500 S&W has to be about the
same or worse.

Of course, you're a theoretical shooter, right? I've been to the range
twice this month so far. You?

Don't they have any membership standards?

We bounce one or two asshats every year from our group.

It would be difficult to measure Harry by standards used to judge normal
men.

Been out playing golf, and I came back to see this. Beautiful. Are you going to shoot
it or keep it nice and pretty. S&W has already shot it, yes? Hell, might as well
enjoy the thing.

Congrats.

He's going to use it to *Stand His Ground* of course. It's Florida. Now,
to find an inside the waistband holster for concealed carry...

Harry's already told us how much better than the cops he shoots.

Why would he do that. I'm sure he has more appropriate carry guns. What
made you so crazy, Harry? Syphilis?
