Today I was able to shoot a few guns. A day at the range quickly turned to me plinking. Have to say after a year of not getting any time to shoot it was spectacular. Will reload and tailor to accuracy when I can.
9mm ruger PC carbine (highly recommend), 327 single seven, ruger 5.5” bisley 45 colt, 38 special, 44 special 5.5” bisley, full custom redhawk 410 GNR, 500 JRH PC BFR, and last but not least 500 S&W with a 6.5 inch barrel.
Have a new found appreciation for the small bores after shooting today. Walking away I think the 44 special and 45 colt are my top favorites followed by the 327 Federal.
The 500 S&W was extremely accurate considering I shoot “mild” loaded 500 JRH through it. Don’t recall the exact loads but I believe it was a 380 grain at 1,000fps

Full tilt loads are not fun. Especially with a snub. Very nice. I bet the snub can be brutal... had a pc before a few years ago but had to part with it. This 6.5 isn’t going anywhere

Kyle has a habit of adding really nice revolvers. Has big bores second to nobody. I've tried to push him towards some small bores, but he always makes a U-Turn. Much appreciated Huey. Think my big bores are complete. Can focus on the small bores again, had to grab this 500 while I could.

Congrats. Sounds like you got a good one. The 500 mag is no joke. I appreciate it it, hope to shoot it soon and give a full report. I won’t be touching off any full power loads but I do want to reload for something more enjoyable

I picked up the 500 S&W today and I have to say I’m very pleased with this revolver. The cylinder lockup is perfect with no play at all. Barely a cylinder gap to speak of, and the single action trigger pull breaks like glass with not a single bit of creep. The double action is heavy but is smooth as expected with a S&W. Despite its size and weight I’m actually surprised on how well it handles and balances. A good purchase and proud to be part of my collection
Oh and qualified for a rebate from S&W.

I’m glad I’m not the only who started the new year off right.

I bought a 6.5” 500 S&W on sale while browsing for new year specials. I have revolvers ranging from 22 mag to 500 JRH, and this 500 S&W will certainly be a good addition to my collection. Will post again once it’s in hand...
