There's nothing funny about shooting such a gun. It's certainly not for beginners. You can get hurt firing it. I've shot hot loads in a 44 mag and 45-70 in a contender. The second shot I noticed my hand was bleeding from the grip slipping. Don't hand someone without experience a 50 S&W. It's dangerous, especially if they fire it single action and it goes off unprepared.
I'm sure people appreciate your concern, But we dont need you to preach to anyone about shooting a gun. It's there life, let them have some fun if they want to. I do agree with you though that shooting a gun of this calibur is not a smart idea without at least some training in shooting a firearm.

Ha, so quick to judge arn't we?! And as for my spelling... Who gives a flying crap, it's YouTube for Christ sake, get over it ! And about me interrupting, I wasn't talking to you in the first place; so technically you interrupted my conversation.
@Vegita08 Have you noticed how long it takes your comments to be automatically removed? That's right, they're never removed. So if you fuck up it stays fucked up for ever, that is why it matters.
No, it's the S&W 500, pretty sure it was loaded with the 350 grain Hornaday here, but might have been a 500 special round. I have since got some 500, 600, and 700 grain custom loads, much more kick but still manageable with the long barrel, heavy weight and rubber grip of the S&W 500.
Actually, there's one even more powerful than the S&W 500. The 600 Nitro Express. It's a .60 caliber magnum. That's an elephant gun round in a handgun!
Haha, yeah my dad's the same way. He bought a .44 magnum in 1970 when it was the most powerful. He was pissed off when I told him about the S&W 500 when it came out. I didn't have the heart to tell him that thanks to the .454 Casull and a few other magnums, the
.44 hasn't been the most powerful in a long time.
I wanted a 600 Nitro Express too, but with a $17,000 price tag for the revolver and ammo that is set at $40 PER ROUND quickly changed my mind!
@dtvardy when it comes to maxing out both cartriges there both about the same. but in order for the 44mag to get velocities of the same weight bullet of a 45LC you have to use +P ammo which raises the pressure up to 60,000psi on the 44mag where a 45llog colt will do it at half the pressure.
@KJonhS holy shit is the casull really that old?,,,, I know Dick Casull did some experementing with the 45colt eventually leading to the 454 casull but it wasnt comercially availible until Freedom Arms made a pistol for it.
Its not a production handgun, it was a full custom gun on a T/C platform. You can go to several custom shops, like SSK, and have a contender built in the chambering of your choice. We are dealing with production handguns here.
Yeah, I know it's a custom job. I didn't see the word "production". It's not exactly an unheard of custom job, though. Pfeiffer Zeliska has one available, too.
It is pretty much unheard of. At least the Contender pistol in 600 NE could actually be implemented for hunting, the zeliska revolver is the dumbest thing ever invented. It serves no purpose, except to say "I have a 600 nitro revolver". Anyways, if we're getting into non production pistols, the most powerful handgun to my kknowledge is the Maadi-Griffin 50 BMG.
Okay, I'm not trying to get into a debate. Yeah, I know it serves no purpose in a revolver. I have a .44 mag and I really don't see any reason to have anything bigger unless you're trying to do something ridiculous like killing an elephant. The reason I say it's not unheard of is because if you look around online or in catalogues, you'll find more and businesses that offer custom weapons in 60 caliber. Not too long ago it was completely unheard of, but it's becoming more and more known.
Who the hell offers pistols in 600 Nitro besides the Zeliska company? No, you would have to contract a specific gunsmith to personally manufacture a 600 Nitro pistol; and most gunsmiths would turn you down for such a stupid request. Even SSK, the most famous T/C contender custom chop does not offer of advertise anything in 600 Nitro; though you might be able to get one produced on special inquiry, at a ridiculously inflated price.
In addition, the zeliska revolver serves no purpose bot because of its power, but because it is impossible to carry or shoot in the field, as it weighs over 20 pounds. Pistol cartridges with greater power than the .44 Mag have a better ballistic coefficient, and a much flatter trajectory than the .44 Mag. This increases range for handgun hunters, and offers better performance for silhouette shooters.
Actually, the Magnum research BFR is the most powerful production revoler; in .45-70 it can achieve higher muzzle energy than the smith and Wesson 500.
lol lever action is way better then bolt action for deer hunting as you don't need to bring the rifle down like a bolt to exchange rounds.
quick. i can dump off my 8 rounds in under 10 seconds. all without ever taking my eyes off the sights.
But yea i'd consider a 45-70 to be a rifle round although i've seen some revolvers that pack that round. wouldn't want to shoot it though. as my rifle already leaves shoulder bruises every season.
there is different types of ammo theres the rifle round the magnum round and the handgun or pistol round the smith and wessons .50cal round is smaller then the barret .50 because it is a magnum round and the colt .45 is a smaller bullet then the 44 mag because its a different type
Barrett is a manufacturer of multiple rifles chambered for the .50 BMG cartridge. I don't see how telling everyone that is a caliber in itself is helping people understand.
the desert eagle is the strongest production semi automatic handgun and the sw500 is the strongest production revolver, which is way stronger than a desert eagle
@razer1000 you know the 500 linebough is about the same as 500sw. the performances are small difference. If I shot a brown bear with a 500 linebough it would be dead. if I shot the same animal with a SW500 it would be dead. dead is dead no matter how you put it. and with the linebough I didnt have to carry around a two pound revolver
@xbox360zocker Wow. Thats some noob shit right thur. First of all, the fact that your name has Xbox 360 in it, makes me think you're a kid who legally cant own a gun. Secondly, if it's a pistol, what other kind of grip can there be? Oh and if your silencer is made of silver, you must be Bill Gates.
@xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx that is a lie, the 5-7 is a powerful pistol that can pierce armor and take u down easy, id like to see u get ht with one wearing armor and then u will see wat week is, it aint week
@xxEPICSHOOPDAWHOOPxx no i am not, 9mm= 400 ft lbs 5.7 = 650 ft lbs, and if u dnt think that the 5.7 is powerful than you go ahead and stand in front of one and get hit by it,
@BleachedFrogs i know i would not want to be anywhere near an elephant with a 500 magnum, give me a Barret .50 cal and i will be a little better, and the 500 can prolly go up to level IIIA penetration of armor but level III and level IV not even a .308 can go thru a level III and even a 30-06 can not go thru a level IV, and they are both much more powerful than a 500 magnum

typical loosers say the deagle is better, but
the 500SW has longer barrell = higher muzzle velocity = faster projectile movement

also deagle has more recoil because of handgun design<revolver
