My buddy has that exact gun and I just checked with him to see what he gave for it. He said he bought it privately two years ago NIB for $1350. They are an impressive weapon and I wish I could say I had a peasant experience when I shot it, but that's just not the case. To have the true peasant experience you need to reside in a hovel and wear the blouse.

Buddy of mine has one of those on order. Not sure on delivery time frame, but I'm anxious to see it...

MSRP: $1569.00
Lot of little people tried to whack me with a .50, aka 12.7mm. They all failed and many died when I replied with a 7.62x51.
.44 mag is as far as I'll go with a handgun. I feel the same, I don't think I will ever use this 500. I wouldn't be able to feed a 500 S&W. My .454 Casul brass is expensive. I'm sure the 500's are even more so. Not to mention .50 cal bullets. Brass isn't that bad, $.65 each if you buy 500 cases from Starline. I can't imagine feeding a big bore revolver without casting your own. There are quite a few molds available from 350-500 gr, and some truly rediculous weights like 700 gr. I think the 500 makes more sense when cut down to 1.4" as the 500 JRH and are reasonable sized and weight revolver pushing 440 gr 1300 fps.

I was shooting some 275gr Speers and getting some pretty good velocity, my go to load were 300gr. I sold it because I always wanted a six shooter and I felt short changed.
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

.44 mag is as far as I'll go with a handgun. When you sleeping in your tent and something huge with teeth and claws comes after you you would be glad you have a 500.

Value unfired, with the case. I believe 10-inch barrel, ported. It'll be worth at least two new hearing aids, LOL.

I sold my 500 five years ago for $4000. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/27Dp1Ir.jpg) That has Jack schidt to do with Roger’s question.

I had three 500's at one time. They are just to big and clunky for me. Sold them all.
I prefer my Freedom Arms 475 Linebaugh. Plenty of power and not too big.

Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.

This is my wife shooting my son's 4" S&W 500. This is her second shot. Her expression might be showing a little anticipation of recoil... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Lsg38jjv/86-B14-B77-CEB0-4-B35-82-B4-26-FA6117108-D.png)

Seems like they’re around $1300-$1600 nowdays. Mine was under $800 out the door when I bought it in 2004. Lots of enjoyment out if it since. Kills critters and targets quite nicely. 😎 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Gt9rM8gx/IMG-1409-3.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Jhf1zcxD/AAD3491-B-966-F-419-A-BFE1-18-A3-C8278400.jpg) 50 yards off the back porch rail. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/G2j3HnV6/IMG-1355.jpg) Big, heavy, loud, and pricey…but still awesome! 😁
Livin ain’t killed me yet, but it’s workin on it!
