Best price I’ve seen in a while. This usually runs more than the fixed comp version.
$1297 total to my state.

Now that's a proper BASC. (Bears Ain't Shit Carry)

Range buddy has one of these. They are a lot of fun to shoot.
SkataN369@reddit
Does your range buddies wrist also agree?

Have one of these. 440 gr bear load out of 8.375” doesn’t really hurt, even 1 handed. The barrel is so heavy that it soaks a lot of the recoil. Haven’t tried the snub nose though…
Armory12@reddit
I have the same model and they really don’t kick all that bad. So heavy and compensated, feels like a 357

You need to try some more powerful ammo, I've got stuff that has same muzzle energy as a standard pressure loaded 45/70... Bought a box of 20 about 5 years ago, still have 12 rounds left.

I say this having never shot a revolver larger than 44mag, I was under the impression that when it comes to pressure/recoil, 500sw is significantly more capable than 45-70.
I understand 45-70 is model specific given its age but I always thought of it as lesser than.
Quake_Guy@reddit
45/70 out of rifle, even old school loading is plenty to take down an elk, even a buffalo out to 150-200 yards. To have that power in a handgun is nuts.

Im wasn't trying to compare capabilities with a barrel restriction. Big horn armory makes a 16" 500mag lever gun
Armory12@reddit
Yeah, I think I’ve only shot 450gr
KaneIntent@reddit
Even with 700 grain?
Quw10@reddit
700gr have some kick but if you are prepared they don't kick that bad. I've shot some stuff out of my 45-70 BFR that hurts more but it's mostly because the .500 has a ported barrel and the BFR doesn't and also has the Bisley grips that take some getting used to.

Have zero use for this, don't even enjoy revolvers, but i want it. If only it was a little dumber, like maybe a 3" barrel think I'd jump.
rustic_trombone@reddit
For sure
ICEMAN-22@reddit
Thank god this sold out
