Ok, how many of you guys still haven't fired a 500?
They weigh 5 pounds a piece, fully loaded which soaks up the recoil. Only thing which still to this day, they are kind of gassy when you shoot them. If you keep your mouth open, your cheeks will puff out some! The little 4 incher is the loudest handgun I believe in existence. When shooting the 500's, I always fear of loosening up a few dental fillings, then I'll need to go visit the dentist. I hate going there.
I've been shooting them since they first came out. I still have 2 of them. The first one I sold for these two pictured below, which have the removable muzzle breaks which I prefer.
To be honest, I never fired them single handed. For me they are a hands gun for sure!
Years ago back at the club, it was hunting season and the place was mobbed. Many people were firing their rifles over on the rifle range. I pulled up to the range and noticed the pistol range was open, with no one around, excellent! Why I was so excited was 4 years ago I was shooting the little 4 inch 500 for the first time.
I remembered it felt good in my hands, not to muzzle heavy like the 8 3/8 model that I also have. It looks mean with the muzzle break, and the price was fair. Anyway I got to the range and no one was at the pistol range...cool. The range has a cement slab a roof and benches to shoot from. Behind me, around 35 yards away were some cars parked, they were shooting at the rifle range. From my bench, I fired one round at 25 yards, it felt much like it's big brother nearly no muzzle flip, surprisingly accurate, only one little difference, the blast was ungodly! I set off a car alarm behind my shooting spot! I waited a few minutes and the car reset itself so I fired another again. That darn car started again weee...wooo...weee...wooo. It didn't take long for the owner to get in his car and leave. Some people are so sore sometimes. Next time, I thought to bring more ammo!
Like I said, it's little but it has a big, big bark. :mrgreen:
