I just came

I have handled most sizes and fired the 8 3/8 and the 6.5 seems all around most comfortable for me.....

[JCS&W]

I found this one and loved it, but a friend of mine "wanted" it more. But it was, and still is, a great revolver.

[macbullet]

Have the 8 3/8" and the 6 1/2". Both are fun, but I prefer the 6 1/2" and think a 5" would be better for packin' in the hills.

5" Performance Center John Ross 500 S&W

My favorite 500 S&W currently

[A.O.]

Well I better join in I guess...I had an 8 3/8" and a 4" both 500's


But I traded the 4" on a nice 6.5" with a guy here on this forum..and I got this thing about orange, so I changed the grip on the one..

I too like the .500. My 8-3/8" is one of the best designed, smoothest shooters that I have. The porting is fantastic. Keeps it level, just need a strong arm to keep it forward. The 6.5" though, gosh it likes to raise up and fire high, and it doesn't like the casings of Winchester Super-X. They get stuck on an average ratio of 2:5 rounds. I don't know why not, but never had that problem with the longer guy.

YOU my friend have sorted through all the hyperbole and come up with the RIGHT conclusion! The 6.5" partial shroud barrel is probably THE ideal of all the .500 models!
It POINTS the best of all....balances far better than the 8 3/8ths barrel, and does NOT deliver anything close to the sonic wave impulse to the ears as does the models with the removable compensator.
It weighs very little more than the 4" model, and IF S&W has done their job right it will deliver greater velocity than the short barrel (though my 4" model shoots almost 100 fps FASTER than my 6.5" model).
The main advantage to the 6.5" is how naturally it comes onto target...maybe not meaningful when shooting flapping paper, but VERY important when shooting at a head the size of a transmission, covered with fur, and topped off with finger-length teeth!

Please tell me about that holster, I want a drop leg for my 6.5.

[Handgunner454]

Two bucks taken with the 460. Has gold bust on frame and Michigan engraved on the barrel. A 9pt and a 5pt.

[75Vette]

Here's mine. It was the first S&W wheel gun I owned.
Of course, the family has grown since (in smaller frame sizes).

[Mike McLellan]

Do you guys know how loud those things are?

[Handgunner454]

Here is the 5pt hopefully. Lol

[Glockcubed]

These are some very good photo's. Here is mine.

Nice, I cant wait to hunt with mine.. and welcome to the forum from another new guy!

[2011Corvette]

I like my 4" - 500 and wish I could find a 2" gun Bear Kit.

[ezsw]

Nice pictures guys - here are some of my wife and my .500 mag



some reason the shooting one would not hotlink, so attached

[TDC]

I'm another member who finds the 6.5 the best all-around choice...

7 1/2" 500

[Mike McLellan]

Simply amazing. Neither my budget nor my wrist could handle such a remarkable revolver, but these guns are the end result of over a century of tweaking, fixing, and fine-tuning the finest of firearms this world has ever known. Man, they look like fun!

Do not cheat on her or you will die! as you should!-lol
I saw the prototype .500 snubby at the last Orlando Shot Show 2006ish?
People couldn't get enough of it!

[A.O.]

Ok, fine.. Here are my daughters..

Did you happen to note my signature line?

My 5" 460 is incredibly loud. I'd never, ever try to shoot it without earplugs in.

I use muffs over plugs... just to be safe.

Fellas, If your son say's "I met my girlfriends parents and they have a really cool giant gecko sculpture on the wall" wellllll, tell them their dad has something much more than a shotgun..... as does the girlfriends!

[A.O.]

HA!! And they are both good shots with my 500's

Wish I could figure out how to post a video..

[3rdgeargrndrr]

Just do a search on ruggyh. He has every conceivable variant you can think of

Its made by Uncle Mike's and its called the Sidekick. I have never found it on their website so Id call them and ask. I was lucky the gun shop I bout the 500 at just had got it in and gave me a good deal on it. I really like it, but I need to wear my back up in a shoulder holster to help keep my pants up if I do some walking in the woods. Just wearing around the range/campsite is ok, but heavy walking it will pull yer pants off without some upper support like spenders or a shoulder holster

Such a cool pic, wouldn't want to be the one taking that picture in front of that loaded gun though..

[roscoepc]

My first attempt at posting pic's so don't laugh too much....

My 500 in the case. After thinking about how to keep some rounds with the gun, I used a drill and an empty case to put some holes in the foam to store some rounds, Also I cut a slit at the bottom front of the barrel to store the allen wrench used to remove the compensator:

Hey, would you do me a favor and measure that case LxW, I got one from S&W , said it was large for the 8 3/8" barrel but mine barely fits , even on an angle!

Thanks ,Scott

[roscoepc]

OK, that worked so here's a few more! First a shot of her outta her case and 2 with a 6" scale for reference! I hope ya'll like them!!

Not a problem! It's 11, 1/8" wide by 18, 1/4" long. Also this is the case she came in from the factory...

Just a note. I took that picture with the other hand, so no photographers were endangered while shooting this photo.

[A.O.]

A little update, I've altered my pair a little. Put a scope on my long one , and if you remember up in post 12 I said I had a thing for orange so I altered the little one too.

[Glockcubed]

Here are my 460 PC and my 500. Luv em both
