There have been 2 cases that I know of (might be more) where someone has blown their head off when a 500 doubled on them. The way I understand it is like this:
The gun fires with great recoil, pushing the gun back in the hand and the trigger finger is off the trigger, allowing it to reset. As the gun flips up and back, the shooter's hand closes back on the gun, attempting to hang on to it. In the process, the trigger is pulled a second time, and the gun fires again. All this happens in a fraction of a second.
If you, or anyone you know wants to shoot a 500 or 460 for the first time, PLEASE only load one round at a time! Your life or theirs may depend on it.
