500 S&W Mag owners/shooters impressions and model advise

[emerson]

Got a 460V, a PC 500 Mag and a BFR in 50AE. All of them are a ton of fun. The BFR is a little hard on the hands due to no comp.

Got the 460V first. Love the ability to shoot different loads in one revolver. Flame belching 460's or powder-puff 45 Colt.

Soon I developed a burning desire to punch bigger holes, and the BFR was purchased. Nice that it shares the same ammo as my DE, but like I said, she's a little hard on hands.

Wanting a bigger boom, the 500 mag came along. Scored a Performance Center model off the EE and have been knocking dust off the rafters at the range ever since.

Should you go bigger? I vote yes. I regret not getting the 500 sooner.

Sounds like we think the same. I want a double action, so options are limited.

I have a 460XVR and 500, both are kick ass to shoot. get them both haha.

I have the 8 3/8" 500mag. Always puts a smile on my face, or on anyone's face once they try it.

Only ones who can say they have 'the worlds most powerful production hand gun'

It starts getting attention as soon as it's out of the rang bag.
