[roobarb]

Eh, this thread feels a little too tense. Time to lighten things up a bit...

Required accessory to be packaged with 4.2 inch 500:

I would love a 4.2 500 i think it would be fun.

Yeah, not sure what that cats problem is, nothing wrong with a hand cannon that spits some serious flames.

If someone start a group to have a run of them in production, i am in... JP.

For about a decade, I've been hankering for a .50 caliber revolver of some sort. I've written to both Ruger and Smith & Wesson, and requested they make a 4.2" version of:

or

or even

Ideally, one of the big name firearms companies would create a revolver with two cylinders: .50 AE for "practice", and .500 S&W for when you wanted 2000+ foot-pounds of muzzle energy.

I investigated getting this sort of revolver made by Hamilton Bowen. The bottom line is that it's possible, but the process would be extremely complicated and expensive.

I can wait.

Maybe North Sylva would have a little more pull with S&W. There seems to be a fair amount of intrest, someone said S&W will do custom runs of 100 or more guns. Doesnt look like North Sylva would have much trouble unloading them.

I wish s&w would make us a 4.2inch model 617 22 revolver I think demand would be good for this gun

So North Sylvia, there is some interest here. What would it take for you to consider looking into this????

If I was them I would want 100 x 75%, non refundable deposits.
Way too many day dreamers and tire kickers on this site.

I'd be in for a 500 4.2" non-fluted!

I think if there was a run done, deposits would be required. Unless the market value is seen on the item, then order them anyway. I don't think you'd need to have them presold to sell them. Put them in shops here and there and they would sell.

That fake M1917 looks awesome!

I'm guessing the price tag would be north of $1500? Hard to justify but another 500 would be awesome and ease the wear any tear mine is getting. How many rounds do you guys have through your 500's? I'm just shy of 5000 rounds.
