Odd fishen story

[Chris]

Look at the size compared to the 357.

I thought the same thing when I saw the .500 S&W round. It looks more like an antitank round than one intended to be fired from a handgun.

I almost crapped myself when I saw the size of the round. It fires.500 s&w Magnum which is a hand gun round, the largest caliber ever made for a handgun. I don't know how you could ever hold the pistol and shoot.

I've seen them up close but never had a chance to fire one.

It's an impressive round.

Here is my arsonal for this weekend. The little lady wants to do some shooting and we have a few new guns I need to test out. So since our mountain house closes escrow on friday and is only about 15 minutes from legal shooting I decided to grab a few out of the safe and dust them off.

[Admin]

That's a good looking selection you have there.

 

[Chris]

That's about a third of my collection.

 

[waterwelldude]

Looks like you have a fun weekend planned.
That 500 is just plain nasty, hold on tight.

 

[Admin]

That's about a third of my collection.

Lucky you.

I have a few.

 

[Chris]

Lately I have been gathering more then before.

 

[Admin]

I'm buying more ammo. I'm set on firearms at the moment.

Baby expenses and what not.

 

[Chris]

Our mountain house just closed escrow so I have another fun project to get done by September.

 

[Chris]

So I went shooting and love that .500. It kicks just less then a 12 Ga and hits like a mule. I would recommend one for everyone that wants to spends a lot of money on ammo.

 

[Admin]

You know I do!

How was your grouping with it? Can you place shot after shot?

 

[Chris]

I only fired five shots with it but they were within a couple inches of each other. That was from standing with no rest so I am happy with that.

 

[Admin]

I would be too.

 

[Chris]

Close enough to kill a pig which is why I bought it.

 

[Admin]

That's on my list of things to hunt.

 

[Chris]

It is my favorite hunt.

 

[Admin]

I've only hunted rodents, deer, and an armadillo that still eludes me.
