2.5" S&W 500 Snubbie???

[MrTrolleyguy]

I know this is an old thread but last week at the range a fellow I just met had the 500 snubbie and was letting people fire it with factory loads. About five of us, one being a female shooter used his lighter reloads. The kick wasn't bad if you had a good grip and leaned into the shot. (I am a big buy.)

Harry is a NRA certified firearms instructor for pistol, rifle and shot guns so he is no goofball with a big gun. He is also loading up 250 or 500 rounds of .38 for me so that I can practice with what I will carry. A good guy to know.

500 Snubbie

Thanks for the info guys. I found a factory 2 3/4" 500 for sale that I am going to pick up. Now I need to find a nickled 2 1/2" Python to go with my royal blue model snubbie.LittleAce

Just wondered if you eve got it? (9 years) Hopefully you did NOT port it. I am sure you have found out that it shoots, 275, 300, 325,400, 450 well, but will tend to yaw with 500gr and above after 25 yards. Just wondering. Be Safe

Theres no need for that. Just buy a snake eyes set and you'll have both your snubbie pythons in one go. Did you have a spare $18,000 lying around?

Mine just plain hurts... 4" with 700gr. Underwoods

Flames on the Port side

magnaporting... might make for an interesting light show at dusk with all of the burning powder coming out of those vents.

It doesn't even have to be dark to get some interesting flames off Mag-Na-Ports.

No ports on my 500ES.

The 4" is actually 3" with a compensator. I wouldn't want it any shorter.

 

[BLUEDOT37]

Really only a 1/4" in difference.

The 4"s comp makes it worse than the snubby without one, IMO.
