I'm debating revolvers here.
.44 mag or .500 S&W
short, light, compact or huge, heavy, and accurate
Taurus, S&W, or Ruger
Would be for back-up hunting gun, defense, target shooting (fun, not competition)
What does everyone think? Thanks.
O Lord,
grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can,
and the supreme firepower to make the difference.

The 500 in the 8-3/8" barrel is now my favorite gun. If you are anywhere near the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, I'll be glad to let you try mine out.[;)]

Now I've gotta make a trip down there. Wait a minute, I'll be shooting in Texas in a few months. This could be good[:D]

Must be .357 caliber or larger, straight-walled cartridges only, 5" minimum barrel length.
For cost of ammo and physical abuse suffered, I would go with the 44. You can afford and tolerate additional practice to develop the skill to hit what you aim at. The 500 S&W can be a sucker's bet for the 'bragging' rights alone. I admit I want one as a toy...it would not be practical for me 'cause I know what I can afford and what recoil I'll tolerate for sufficient practice.
If you are hunting or plinking with this revolver and friends witness your misses...not much bragging there.
