S&W .500 mag. most powerful handgun

**redneckpapa1996** · 07-03-2006, 05:45 PM

Let a friend who has 2- .44 mag. shoot the punisher today.. After one shot with a 440 grain round he had enough. The look on his face was priceless!! Gun weighs almost 5lbs. empty and has chamber pressure more than a 30-06.. Good squirrel gun..

Here is a comparison of the 500 to other large bore handgun calibers.

This gun is not for the beginner by any means.. Need to reload since every time i pull the trigger it costs 3-4 dollars. It is pretty accurate if you can block out the recoil and squeeze the trigger as needed.. Mine has a 3.5 lb pull which by some would be a hair trigger so be careful..

Bah my .729 pistol has a 20 inch barrel and at 1200 fps, will knock you on your *** (or make your arm really sore). Who cares if it's pump-action?

i heve been looking at the desert eagle .50 with the 6" barrell.i have never really liked wheel guns much because of the time it takes to reload and with the desert eagle you can shoot .357 or .44 with a simple barell change and madazine change.they also weigh 5 lb empty but just the sight of the thing would diffuse any situation you would need to pull a gun for unlike my glock
.40 with laser sight.was leaving a bar about 2 weeks ago and had a few aunt monny uncle daddy types try and rob me while getting in the titan.they didnt get teh point untill one of them noticed the red dot on his buddys forehead.personally i think looking down a 1/2" hole in teh barell would convince even the dumbest a**hole you mean business.

The 500 mag. is the most powerful, check the stats... Some night time fun.. One look at this will make you turn tail and run.. Hit the ground in front of a target and the dirt and rocks will rip you up..Nice fireworks!! Even the 440 grain rounds are 1625fps and the 275 grain are 2100fps plus..

If you can`t do it with 5-6 rounds then 5 or 6 more can`t help you.. One shot one kill...

True, but still smaller with less knock down power and i can grab mine as fast as i can grab the ole lady in bed..

you are definitely right about the .500 mag being the most powerful but as for recoil the .454 casull in a ruger redhawk has more recoil since it is not ported at the factory. I have shot the .500 mag and it does kick though. Here are a few of my pics of my .454 casull in my ruger redhawk.

My Ruger Varmint .220 Swift 4100 FPS, My Remington .17 rem, 4000 Factory FPS. Your bullet wouldn't leave the barrel before it would be lights out. lol

I stand corrected, i ment chamber pressure of a 30.06.. Also it is hard to compare a BB to real bullet when it comes to FPS..

To each his own, i have also shot your gun and still think the .500 has more thump.. I am several years older now so maybe my memory is clouded but if it does it is not by much.. Nice gun and a good comparison..
