Hi,
First post here, been searching the internet and this forum for an answer for the last hour and finally thought I'd just ask, seems like a pretty good group here, so here goes: I'm trying to figure out how thick/wide a model 500 is. I can find the overall length, but, can't find the width anywhere. I was wondering if one of you fine gentlemen could shed some light on it. As background, I started an online store where I make book "safes" to hold handguns, and a guy wants one for his 4" barrel model 500. Getting a little off topic, he also wants 3 slots for speedloaders to hold 700 grain ammo, which makes me wonder how's the recoil on that, but anyway, this is the same guy who also ordered a book to hold his Hi-Point 9mm and 3 Extended mags, so overkill seems the norm with this dude. Either way, I've asked him already but I can't get in touch with him, but if anyone could help out I'd really appreciate it.
So since I'm new here, here's a bit about me. I'm from NC, former ski bum out in Utah for a handful of years, traveled and hitchhiked a lot, maybe trying to get a little more serious about "life" I'd say. Don't have a handgun yet (I know, really lame since I make stuff for them), but my wife has a S&W model 640 I "inherited" (not a fan of the lemon squeeze on it though), and I'll be taking a CC class next month. Thanks in advance guys. Also if anyone's interested in seeing some of the book safes you can check out bookmods.com .
