.50 Cal Shocker

 .50 Cal Handgun


I capped this from the Gunny's show.  Most interesting to me was the shock wave thats sent up the shooter's arm when firing.

That one goes a bit too far.

It takes too long to recover for a followup shot.

I shoot a Ruger SRH in .480 ( a short .475 Linebaugh ) with a 9.5" barrel ... I can make follow-up shots with that, and easily hit man-sized targets at 100 yards.

I can put 5 rounds inside the 9-ring @ 25 yards with it in under 5-seconds. It's like any other magnum; you have to get used to it and manage the weapon instead of having the weapon manage you. My biggest problem with the S&W .500 Magnum is the cost to shoot it. Those bullets are NOT cheap - even to reload.

X frames... yawn.
N frames are where it's at. Particularly .44spl N frames.

Good Lord.

While I'm sure it'd give you mucho bragging rights, there is such a thing as "too much".

(Now, a .50 cal Barrett semi auto is perfectly ok: http://www.barrett.net/firearms/model95)

My ears are still ringing from standing in the adjacent lane to a guy firing one of those, last Saturday.

Seeing that shockwave tells me why my elbow still hurts today. Damn!

Too damned big IMO, still.

But then I don't like the recoil of the .454 version of my pistol ... methinks this one is on the far side of the utility envelope.
