    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    Those are some excellent photos, thank you for sharing. 440 grain is what I got currently, I am going to eventually order some 700 grain but my next goal is to figure out reloading, doing it safely etc. Because while I can afford it, it's silly to pay $50-70 for 20 rounds when you can get the...

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    I called two indoor ranges about shooting the 500. The first said their pistol range wasn't up to the task, and it would have to be rifle range. Then they told me they would "take me down range" to shoot it because they don't need me "sending 50 cal rounds through the roof. *click* The next one...

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    yeah a press was next on my list once I saw the price for 20 rounds of the good stuff :eek: I have no qualms in admitting I was going to only load 1 round for my first shot lol. I am a big guy, I don't doubt that I can handle it but I always err on the side of caution, especially when it comes...

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    This firearm was from buds. I purchased a police trade in Beretta from aim surplus once, nice gun but man it was beat to hell and clearly not the indicated condition. So now it's strictly new, mainly online sales. I will buy from lgs that I transfer to help out small business.

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    closest one to me is apopka, they said their only concern is noise and they "can't conduct business if you shoot a 500 too close to the showroom". So its rifle range or the pistol stall near the rifle range entrance

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    I plan on taking it out soon, ironically my local indoor won't let me shoot it, otherwise I would have done it already. And it's been raining like crazy in Florida, so outdoors are a no go. Shoot straight said it would be fine, so that's the plan here this weekend I think. I picked up some...

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    Which is what I figured and it was normal revolver behavior. I am super ocd about my new guns being in excellent condition after my one and only(sold immediately) taurus revolver in 44 magnum had to be sent back before ever firing a round. Thanks for the reply :cool:

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    Thank you Here's the thumb release on mine. The gun feels solid, the release feels sorta cheap when compared to the rest of the revolver. It has some minor play etc. I get that they don't really need to make a thumb release super hefty as it isn't taking any massive load, I just wish it was a...

    New 500 S&W, is this normal?

    I just picked this up and didn't notice it until I got it home. I have other revolvers that have it, but I have extensively shot them so the mark makes sense. Being a new revolver, do they work the cylinder that much in the factory for the ejector rod to mark like this? I understand why it does...

    Value of this model 64?

    Thanks guys, Since it was an oops on my part and it is indeed chambered in 38 special and not 38SW I may just keep it, I like the unique feel.

    Value of this model 64?

    Doh! Sorry, When I googled 38 SW special CTG it returned stuff saying it wasn't compatible with 38 special so I just rolled with that. Still sort of new to firearms.
