I suspect it will end up like the 30 M1 Blackhawks- an interesting curiosity. I doubt s&w expects to sell millions of these, although I do look forward to breathless paid reviewers retreading the 350 legend and acting as will become the wave of the future.

I'm sort of interested although I wouldnt call it a must buy... Any chance this can chamber anything other than 350L? I never gave the cartridge a serious look as I don't have the restrictions here that make it attractive elsewhere.

I'll take it as we discussed.

Hello, I purchased these grips from another member here about two years ago. They gave good service but have been replaced on the gun they live on, and I am tired of them living on top of my safe and daring me to buy another n frame. In my time with them, they were used to hurl many hunks of...

Looks like the Apex pin fixed it. I put a couple hundred through it today with no issues. Not sure why the old one got worse over time, but it was an inexpensive fix and hopefully if someone else develops those issues like I did they'll just drop the whole $15 on a new pin and be able to fix it...

Moon clips are a good idea. I considered that but dismissed it, mostly because I forgot my clipping tool when I took the gun out last night. I'll give it a shot, but regardless the gun was previously very reliable even without federals or moon clips, so I'm assuming the problem has developed...

My well-loved r8 appears to have recently developed an issue with light strikes and I was hoping someone may have a good guess at the cause. When I first purchased the gun I put a lighter mainspring in it; I shot almost entirely federal primers so that quick fix alone gave me quite a good...

Just an update. We are now at over 20 on the waiting list so this mold should be cut soon. If you are interested join in- I've been waiting years for this mold to be recut so you could be waiting even longer for the opportunity to come up again. None other than mr. John Ross has joined us on...

Heh, I have a couple of desert eagles too and while they are a ton of fun, the 500 is even more!

Not sure if this is normal for this forum but I just wanted to make everyone aware of a group buy for the well-known 700 grain mihec "grand canyon" mold. This hasn't been run in quite some time and once we have 20 takers it will be ready to go. Despite the tremendously silly nature of a 700 gr...

I will take it per our conversation.

Bump to the top. Am I way off base here or is interest just low in anti-tank handguns?

For sale is an S&W 500 with Weigand mount and Burris Fastfire II. Original box is not included. I have probably about 250 rounds through this gun (took it out today, she shoots very well). The previous owner told me he didn't shoot it much but I don't know what that means as far as round count...

Thanks for the post, Bob! They are great looking grips. I admit that like Ed I have some serious reservations about spending $155 on Turkish made clone grips, but they do look excellent.

I actually don't own any square butts at this time, but I appreciate the offer. Can you tell us how you feel about the quality of the grips?
