Last week my brother bought a 3.5" 500 S&W (no porting). We took it to the range on Saturday and shot a variety of ammo from Armscor, HSM and Hornady. It will certainly get your attention (and that of everyone else at the range). The
Armscor and HSM 300 grain hp's were fairly mild at around 1,300 fps advertised velocity. We shot 300 grain HST's, 350 grain XTP-Mags and 500 grain JSP's from Hornady. There was nothing mild about any of those. I have to say, the 350 grain XTP's seemed to have the most violent recoil. Below are some pic's of my son shooting the 350's. The recoil is so snappy that you don't even see the vertical muzzle lift in the video without slow motion review. My forearm and wrist is a little stiff this morning!
