I got to fire A half A dozen rounds through the S&W 500 on saturday. The bullets were Horniday 350gr JHPs.
I was not impressed. The guns kick is just like that of the .50AE Desert Eagle with more barrel climb. I wouldn't describe it as inaccurate, in fact, accuracy was pretty good but it's certainley not the best rounded handgun for shooting at living creatures smaller then A Hippo. If you ever fire one, you'll know what i'me talking about.
I have fired before and again at the same time as the S&W 500, the Magnum Research BFR Maxine in .45-70.
That is an AWESUME gun with very reasonable kick ( comparable to A .44 Magnum ) incredible accuracy and LONG range.
If your guna get A big boar handgun for hunting large game, get that, you won't regret it.
When I fired the 2, several other people did as well and they all had the same things to say as I do.
It's the only "monster hand cannon" I have ever fired that I found to actually be worth what it is in usefulness.
