Contrvlr 17 Posted October 9, 2013 Hit the range this afternoon, at one point the building shook Guy at the end of the line ( Ken, an MCRPC member ) is firing an S&W 460 XVR, holy crap Except for the insane flash and booming concussion in the booth the gun was amazingly mild to shoot, largest handgun I'd shot prior was a 629 and really didn't enjoy it My little .45acp surrounded by his .450 and .460 Magnum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nitrospaz9 10 Posted October 9, 2013 My DE usually brings people to my booth to find out what is making the big boom lol. I love it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted October 9, 2013 S&w500s aren't as hard to shoot as I expected. They are so friggin fun! After a couple practice shots, i was hitting steel at 100yds whichwas quite impressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawnmoore81 623 Posted October 10, 2013 I was shooting my buddies .500 the other day. It's a beast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,108 Posted October 10, 2013 I'd really like to get a 500. I'd like to shoot one first but I'm definitely interested in that over the 50 AE desert eagles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buell508 6 Posted October 10, 2013 I would love a 500 but could't afford to shoot it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrospaz9 10 Posted October 10, 2013 I want a 500 as well. Someone on here was selling a BFR.500 for about $800 which is a steal. Wish I had the cash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,108 Posted October 10, 2013 I didn't see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 959 Posted October 10, 2013 If anyone is looking for a 500 S&W shooter - i suggest looking at the Magnum Research BFR. When I was comparing the big girls - I felt the BFR was built better that the S&W - JMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sludog 0 Posted October 10, 2013 Aren't these rounds like $2 a piece? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitrospaz9 10 Posted October 10, 2013 Yea about $2-2.50 a round lol. While that is completely idiotic to buy, it's fun as hell to shoot. I've put about a $100 worth through my Eagle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeerSlayer 241 Posted October 10, 2013 I bought a 500 6" barrel in anticipation of doing an Alaskan hunting trip in the future. Don't want to go without a show stopper. The fear of a .50 ban made up my mind to buy it this year. I took it to the range emptied one wheel at about $10 that was enough for me lol. No I didn't enjoy shooting it that much it hurt my hand. Maybe I would like it more loaded with wadd cutters? They make one with a 4" barrel, wonder how that feels? Maybe I should have got the .454 instead. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!

BlueLineFish 615 Posted October 10, 2013 Once the ban was looming I pulled the trigger on a s&w 500. Plus I got it at a really good price. That was the last time I pulled any trigger since I haven't shot anything in ages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Velocity 0 Posted October 11, 2013 My DE usually brings people to my booth to find out what is making the big boom lol. I love it Nice! I had someone with a DE in the port next to mine about a week ago. I felt like I needed to grab a hold of something when he decided to squeeze off a few rounds. I swear my feet were were lifting off the ground from the concussion. LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msokad 3 Posted October 12, 2013 Purchased my 500 S&W back in January. I was a little nervous the first time shooting it, but it's not as bad as I thought. I had it with me a few weeks ago at the GFH range. By the time I got to the 3 shot, I had almost everyone stop over at my port to see what I was shooting. The reloads with H110 definitely produce a nice flame and awesome sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've let two total strangers fire my baby the last 2 times I've been to the range. Toys aren't as fun until someone else wants to play with em Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
