I shot a friend's 500 S&W Revolver for the first time last night.

That's an impressive gun. The recoil really wasn't that bad. The $2 per round ammo cost is what would keep me from shooting it much if I owned one, rather than the recoil.

The ported barrel really keeps the barrel flip to a minimum, and it's extremely accurate. The stock trigger was also very smooth.

.50 S&W

saw a .50 round in living color at the range today. WOW! they wanted $55.00 for twenty rnds. WWWOW! wonder when they'll bring them out in value packs?

Yep, flyandscuba has one... expect he'll weigh in shortly (he's on a trip, as I recall).

Yep. it's an awesome weapon. Hornady's 350gr XTP cartridge is a little more affordable at 20 rounds for $35. Mine is sighted in now, so I just plan to shoot it occassionally -- and hopefully come away with some game for each further firing...

Mine is the slightly longer, heavier version than the one above. I did see the new "snubby" model, but I'm not brave enough to shoot that one.
