    I'm getting ready to purchase a s&w 500, I was going to get one with an 8 3/8" barrel, although I just held one with a 4" barrel and really liked it - but did not shoot it. Has anyone had any experience shooting this gun in a 4" barrel? (or longer barrel for that matter?) How is it for accuracy in comparison to the 8 3/8" barrel. I'd appreciate any input at all on the handgun. I shoot a magnum research 50 ae, and a magnum research 454, but both are with longer barrels (10" and 8" respectively), so i was thinking i'd try something with a shorter barrel.

    thanks

    According to Hornady's website the 500S&W has 2800 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle which is about the same as a .308win. The energy does drop off rapidly though. At 100yrds the 500S&W has 1600ft-lbs of energy.

    It is the most powerful "commercially made" handgun (at the moment), but like the claim of years back about the 44mag. then being the most powerful ... there are handguns that are custom/wildcat that exceed the "500".

    what about the magnum research BFR
    It comes in a quita a range of calibers.
    I assume a modern loaded 45/70 out of the BFr can beat the 500 sw.
    By the way I read about a germen milionaire the built a mini series of a revolver chambered in .600 NE. As far as I can rememberthey biult 50 of them.

    Holy Crap! And I thought the 500 S&W scared me!! Evidently the design purpose was to determine what caliber was neccessary to peel your thumb loose from the rest of your hand!!!
