  I shot about 20 rds out of the 10in model last weekend and all I can say is WOW!!! This gun rocks my world. The obvious down side to owning a 500 mag is the ammo costs. The gun shoots great and performed ... more »

  Point taken Slack00. I agree that there are different weapons for different needs. I fired a Ruger Super Redhawk in .44Magnum. I still have to say...to each his own. In fact, that used to be my tag line.

  Ouch thats harsh and to the point. However I do have to agree. Im buying a Smith & Wesson 460xvr later this year. Id get a 500 but I like the idea of bieng able to fire the 454 and 45 long colts for a cheaper alternative.

  if you were hunting an elephant, maybe. but like blitz said....get a rifle. im convinced that the 500 magnum only serves one purpose...to boost an ego...or for people with the napoleon complex...
