Section 8: Handguns Subject: S&W M500 Msg# 1075519

These truly are huge, two-handed revolvers. Have you seen one in person yet? They are astoundingly huge. What's more, they make them in short-barreled versions, and I'm told people carry them as bear defense in places like Alaska.
The 500S&W is one of the most powerful handgun cartridges made, as you can see from Mike's caption and the comparison to the "small" .44 Magnum in photo. I don't exaggerate when I say firing this thing can cause serious wrist damage--I've never done it but I've read that from people who have done so and written about it. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Looks bigger than a "pack howitzer"! Does it have optional wheels? Image below from MikeDavies - Image Title: photos Image Info: S&W Model 500 with a box of Hornady 350gr XTP JHP's. (1900fps). Note the "small" cartridge put in for scale, which is a .44 Mag.  |
