[QUOTE="flassen, post: 2086461, member: 58543"] I have 3 S&W model 500s. Two non ported in a 5" barrel (John Ross) and one in the 8" ported barrel. The 5" unsorted with full house loads bruise my wife's hand when she shoots it. So I load it down a bit for her. Unless you are comfortable with a LOT of recoil and a lot of time to get back on target I would stay away from the 3" barrel. I did have a 10.5" Performance Center M500, it had much less recoil and was very accurate. I do agree the longer barrels are more difficult to carry. I had Diamond D in Wasilla, Alaska make a custom chest holster for the 5" models. It is very comfortable. I wish you good luck on your hunt. [/QUOTE]
