Thank you for causing me to shoot hot coffee out of my nose!!
LOL!
I had the opportunity to fire a cylinder out of a friends 4" (with compensator) 500 recently.. I positively LOVED it! It really wasn't as nasty to shoot as I anticipated. It seemed just a wee bit more sharp than my 6.5" 629 Classic (.44mag). I'm sure the compensator is to be credited for that..
An X-Frame is on my gotta have list, but I am leaning more toward the 460 in 8-3/8"... Not because I want to fire 454s an 45LC's out of it, but it IS the fastest, flattest, farthest shooting of all production handguns. Before you guys slap me down over that, I realize a 500 can be handloaded to very close to 460 ballistics, I just like the 460... But when it comes time to start seriously shopping, it will come down to what kind of deals I can find.. If I end up finding a killer deal on the 5-hundie I will certainly go for that..
But yeah, congrats and I am jealous!!
