Congrations! That is a fine little cannon! Every S&W enthusiast should own or at the very least, shoot a SW 500 sometime in their lives. I bought and sold mine years ago but boy was it a blast while I had her. Mine had a 6.5" barrel with the 1/2 underlug. Its still the nicest looking SW500 IMO. I never bothered to load it light. My entire adult family spent some time shooting it. My wife shot it 1 time. Some of you may know that she shoots competition and I often brag that she can outshoot me most days. (The student is now better than the teacher) Well I stood behind her when she shot in case in knocked her on her backside. When the smoke cleared she was standing just fine and there was a single 1/2 inch hole dead center of the Shoot n see bulls eye. She put the gun down, smiled at me and said.."there...I'm done"
