Smith &amp; Wesson's new .50 caliber revolving hand cannon. Enter the AD-FREE zone

Well ok, they call it a handgun, but still..."most powerful production revolver in the world today".

http://www.smith-wesson.com/products/firearms/m500.htm

Looks like a small cannon with a pistol grip stuck on it. Puts Dirty Harry's little .44 to shame. Police are very concerned, sales are better than expected...

Thoughts?

Well if we're going to drool over guns (BTW I am a member of the NRA; but I'm not in denial of the facts of gun violence) here's my current favorite... I've fired one before, beautiful gun, but I'm too poor to buy one. Perhaps when I finish school.

Sava,

You watch Stargate? What's the gun that O'Neill uses?

It's an ugly gun but it's real light and easy to aim and has a nice punch and has a clip that loads on the top of the barrell.

Ohhhh yes, I love hearing the ding! ding! ding! when it hits Jaffa armor.

Hey, what happened to Jaffas' helmets?

They used to wear those armored helmets that made them 7 feet tall and they had red eyes. I thought those were bad ass but they don't use them anymore.

Hey, this weeks episode is supposed to kick ass. T'ielc's (can't spell it) old commander is back on the scene and he is brining a special warrior with him that is even badder than T'ielc.

This one will go nice with my 357, 9mm, and 45 six gun. Should have got the 45 auto when I brought the 45. Its cost was $70.00 back then.

That's a real gun?! Very cool looking. What does a weapon like that cost?

I have fired quite a few rifles, and pistols, but I don't own any and probably never will.

Who makes it?

I wonder if S&W could make small shotgun shells for their .50 revolver? Maybe make a smooth bore version, you know, for close encounters...

I was looking into getting a Sig-Sauer P 245 eventually -- they're supposed to be extremely reliable. Not quite the .50 caliber hand-cannon, though...

The P 229 also looks quite good. Not as compact, unfortunately.
