I woundn't be caught dead with something with that finish, Unless of course I had matching teeth to go with it.

As far as revolvers go, I used a Taurus Raging Bull in .500 S&W on a 8' Alaska brownie and a .475 Linebaugh revolver on a 5000# rhino. The rest of my dangerous game (Elephant, lion, hippo, leopard, Cape buff) I used a XP-100 (.375/.284) or an Encore (.416 Taylor). I did take a lioness and a cow Cape buff with my .475L.

Agreed, but limp wrist that beast and you can get half a dozen matching teeth to go with it!

What I'd really like to see is Gina Carano shooting one - a black one though.

I would be shocked if she doesn't already have one, or at least something similar. If she doesn't someone should loan her one.

You know with the weight that it has on it's own and they energy it takes to cycle that monstrosity the kick is really not that bad. I have other hand guns that are far worse.

That's what I've heard, sortof' a plus. On the other had, don't think it is wise to hand anybody one for the first time with more than one round in it...

Everyone always wants to shoot the 500 and I was fine with that, until it got away from a guest and they dropped it and broke the dayglo front sight.
it's $125.00 to replace it, they were very sorry about dropping it and breaking it, but did not offer to replace or fix it not even part of it. So from now on guest get loads that consist of Trail Boss that send 300gr bullets 800 to900 fps and they never know the difference.
