68 ounces of hellfire. Taurus .500 Magnum. A new aquaintance got his hands on one through some promotional deal, and I am here to tell you, brothers and sisters, that this 'little' snubby is one fistful of persuasion.5 shots, and a real-world out the door price of around $750-800.
It hurts so good.

The thing could not have a long life span.
Dunno. Were it a Ruger I'd be quibbling, but the cylinder gap was ridiculous and that always pisses me off. I hate getting a faceful of blowby because Taurus likes bigass gaps, but the thing seems built like a tank...AND...
Who in their right mind will fire it a lot.
I'd sight it in with kickass defensive ammo if it was for carry, then practice with .500 Special, or better yet, finally learn to roll my own.
S&W is coming out with short barrel 460's and that's what I've been waiting for. And I would actually carry a 70 ounce 4" Smith in that caliber due to the improvements they've made regarding accuracy and recoil over the .500. Friend of a friend of a friend sent me some interesting hunting stories about the .500, and if half are true, either of these new big kids on the block are worth a look-see.
It's been on my wish list for a year or so because I prefer a revolver to a SA pistol. Maybe I'll read some more reviews.
I keep going back to wheelguns, Pat. I know it's simply because I am an ancient frig who detests anything that Wyatt frickin Earp didn't need to make his point, but knowing doesn't help. They are just so very good looking, and good looking machinery is something that grabs men almost as much as Lisa grabs me.
I didn't mean it like that.
They're also simpler to maintain like a down to earth broad vs a high maintenance "lady."
Copy.
Nice looking unit, Fits
Good of you to stop by, Bad.
