...a S&W 500, 4"bbl. There was nobody around to beat sense into me, so now I gotta live with it. I'm not sure if it's a last resort defense weapon or a something akin to a 50 caliber cyanide capsule

Congrats. I shot one of those once! once! No permanent damage that I can tell! can tell! Seriously it kicked lick hell but it's a pretty cool weapon!
 
Re: Just acquired...

Personally, I have never seen much practical use for one.

If you reload, you can save a little, but at around $2 a shot I'd rather own something more useful.

To each his own. If you like it then more power to you, but I didn't like the abuse of firing one.

Good luck.

Gee ... that's smart. Advise him to destroy private property using a firearm.

Re: Just acquired...

I just shot one for the first time this weekend. But it was the 8" barrel version, i can't even imagine what the 4" would be like.....

Seriously though, it was fun!

Practically...unless your going to hunt with it, it's just for fun!

After i shot it, i don't think it's really any worse than shooting a .357 out of a snub-nose revolver, it just recoils into your palm....hard.

Does it kill with terminal performance of the bullet (I'm using 350 gr Hornady XTPs) or singe them to death with the muzzle flash. And what's with the interchangagle muzzle brakes?
