Hey, even the 'Bones' gal (Fox TV's 'Bones' show!) has a 4" S&W .500 Magnum...

I wanted one in 4" - no comp - after seeing/shooting an early 8 3/8" .500. Still having a .454 SRH at the time, I knew what a decent push was. Shooting outdoors - late in the afternoon - the .500 was more - the flash seemed more - but the noise was a lot more - and my main memory. My use? 440gr LWC's at 'special' velocities - 800 fps - for 'personal protection', not urban renewal - like 'regular' .500 Magnums. The only non-comp model I know of is the 5" John Ross .500 Magnum pictured earlier - it was a bit over my price.

The desire passed - my last few S&W revolver purchases were .357/.38 & .22 rimfire. If you don't act fast - the desire will wane... mine did... until I saw this post... I wonder if there are any 5" John Ross .500's left?
