Still unfired, S&W 500 Magnum ES Model with all the Survival Kit goodness. Bone stock, no mods; Got 100rds on the way for it.

and then this came along on Monday;

S&W Model 29-10 44 MAGNUM
3" BBL
MagnaPort Customized
Forcing Cone
Quad Trapezoid porting
Target Crown
Numbered Cylinders/Timing
Trigger Job
Wolff Springs
Custom Gunkote Finish OD

The "Bounty Hunter" is a matte finished 3" M29-10 with Pachmayer grips at birth. This one is colored to match a couple Wilson guns he had. Gunkote is a tough baked on enamel, also have an early Chinese preban AK47 in black gunkote, jillion rounds of corrosive through it over the last 9 yrs, finish is solid.

The trigger Magnaport did on this is simply the best revolver DA I have felt in 20+ years of gunwhoring, perfection.

I'll bet you could start forest fires shooting that big 500 during the dry season........

Now you have to learn two-handed simultaneous shooting of both of them at the same time.

The 500 is as much flame thrower as handgun and you have to be careful firing into a hillside lest the Department of Natural Resources dings you for prospecting by digging without a permit . . . .
