[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2085123, member: 63925"] I've had them and never less than 6" barrel and ported. The 3.5' barrel will be extremely difficult to shoot any distance farther than 3 bar stools and probably not ported? The muzzle flash may need welders goggles! 😂 As Varmit Hunter stated recoil is more than noticeable, down right ANGRY! A 44Mag is like 22LR in comparison. If the intent is really close encounter life or death then OK IMO. The 500S&W is one of those handgun calibers that really need to be ported to have a chance at shooting them accurately. Just look at the lead you are throwing out of it, 350 gr likely which is handful in a handgun. BTW - it may hurt to shoot without good shooters gloves. I am big guy at 6'4" and have a big hand which was a plus and Presidential grips to help but even then DANG! No I sold it years ago. [/QUOTE]
