Are you saying the 600 Nitro Express double rifles in the U.S. are here illegally?

Hey S&W when are you going to make .750 magnum revolver?

Unique? Collectable? Powerful? Ah S&W makes the .500 mag. I have two. If this model isn't as unique, collectable and powerful as you need, than you need to go out and buy an actual cannon.
There is zero demand for anything over .500/.50 and S&W wouldn't make a dime off it. So to your title question, never.

Hey S&W when are you going to make...revolvers like you used to, without the idiot IL?
A better question don't you think? (smile)

Could I get it with a round butt and a 2" barrel for pocket carry????
Can you imagine what sort of load Buffalo would produce for this round?

A crew-served revolver. I like it!
I think the JDJ probably got around the legal limit of .5 inches by not being a handgun but a hanfle - a hand rifle. BICBW.
It's either that or the African calibers have some other rules that I don't know - which is quite likely I reckon.....

LOL after watching the YouTube videos of poor sods splitting their face open with that S&W .500 magnum, snubby "survival" gun (or even the full size) I'll pass.

But look at this! He is my hero, if I knew I'd never be able to shoot again I'd shoot a USPSA match like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV2JXVWX3VU&feature=youtu.be
Could it handle +P ammo?
Ahhh, the spirit of Skeeter Skelton, and his "Jug Johnson" character searching for the ultimate magnum handgun lives on, the .44-50 Jug... a .50BMG necked down to .44 cal (Skeeter wrote "looks like a .218 bee with thyroid trouble").
If S&W doesn't go for it, Maybe American Derringer will add a .750 magnum to their line up. After all... they already have the stacked barrel M4 Alaskan Survival model derringer with the upper barrel chambered in .45-70...

Yes, but 125 grain bullets could crack the forcing cone.

The scandium frame ones would be a handful in +p

Would be nice if the option were a practical reality! Maybe a bottlenecked .500 with a .750 major case diameter!!!
A bottle-necked, high-pressure revolver cartridge; what could possibly go wrong?

The African big bores greater than .500 were given exemption status by the ATF so they are legal to own without having to pay the $200 tax; the 28 gauge Taurus was deemed to not have a sporting purpose and was therefore going to be subject to the $200 tax, so Taurus withdrew it from the market.
