How does that compare to the desert eagle .50

Well, one is a revolver and the other...isn't.

Either would be perfect for the conservative Florida househubby who
fears his wife is going to run off with an armadildo. (Yes, I know)
Or perhaps a George Zimmerman wannabe. Speaking of whom, I wonder
which woman he is beating up this week...



How narcissistic of you, tax deadbeat!

I have both and will be shooting them early next week. I'll let you know.

The .50AE is a much smaller cartridge. 300 grain vs 440 in the magnum.

And, Dan, we want video.

Yeah, and either is the perfect conceal carry handgun.

Some of us shoot for sport.

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.

Thanks. I only have two guns I don't fire. This will be an occasional
shooter but a nice addition to my collection.

Define "quick". I am sure a guy who shoots one regularly could get
back down in far less than a second.


Who shoots one of those cannons "regularly"? I'd bet on the grizzly bear
and, of course, that is such a distinct possibility in SE Florida.

I seldom go to SE Florida.
I also have no interest in a "50" anything.




Oh. I thought when you said a guy who shoots a .50 regularly could get
off additional shots in a hurry, you had first-hand experience firing
the weapons.

I like SE Florida, but I also have no interest in 50 caliber weaponry.

BTW - #33 is in my sights. I'm linking the new Savage A17. I'm waiting
to see if they offer it in stainless.

Is that 32 guns you own, Ditzy.
That sure must be some shortcoming you're over compensating for.
How do y'all do it on a counterman's salary?
Don, you are so far out in left field that I doubt you could see the catcher even if
it were Harry.

And, have you considered the possibility that the #32 refers only to revolvers?
Perhaps

From where did you get the 'counterman' nonsense?

You should really consider thinking before you post.


Harry's narcissism is rubbing off on him. There are gun collectors out
there with hundreds of guns. I choose mine carefully with no intention
of ever selling them. The last gun I sold was a Beretta .25 a few years
ago and I regret that. I don't know where the "counterman" thing comes
from but I also don't know where he dreams up half of the crap he posts.

It has the compensated barrel, like my .44 magnum, so that should tame
it a bit. The .44 is a one-hander.

A guy who shoots one regularly probably wouldn't need to worry about 'quick followup
shots'.

[NB: Harry does not fall into that category.]
If you are going to buy commercial ammo, you won't be able to afford
to shoot this a lot. It looks like the ammo is $2 a round. OTOH the
bullets are about a quarter each in quantity of 500 (at Natchez) so
the reloaders really make out. Powder and primers add another nickel
or so.


I thought about that. I probably won't shoot it often but I will save
the brass. I've never reloaded but it's something I might try when I
retire and have more time. I paid a hair under $1.80/round for 100
rounds with shipping. Until now I didn't know reloading was that
economical. There are some very good reloaders at the local gun show.
Maybe I can trade them for ammo?

No one shoots "on" a bear that I've ever seen. Some drunk Ruskies might
do that sort of thing.
