I was surprised to find out that Taurus manufactured a S&W 500 Magnum revolver with a 2" barrel. Has anyone ever fired a S&W 500 Magnum revolver with a 2" barrel? I cannot imagine the recoil when you consider the recoil energy of these bad boys is around 25 lbs to 45+lbs depending upon the load an bullet weight

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

It might not be a bad idea to don a hockey mask before pulling the trigger on that one.lol2

Careful,  that may be a .460, not a .500.  I looked at the pics carefully but they are so poor quality that I can't tell for sure.  It would be a good idea to query the seller before bidding.

I'd be more inclined to don an M1A1 Abrams before shooting this. Seriously, .500 S&W in 2" (or even .460)? Really?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I'm not one to usally bash Taurus but there has been

more than a few KB's with the Taurus 500's . Mostly the

frames are not holding up to more than a few hundred

rounds of fire.

"Mostly the frames are not holding up to more than a few hundred

Most likely not a problem as I doubt anyone shoots it more than once.  Blacktop
