Shot a .500 sw this afternoon

[Crazyhole]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! the first shot intimidated the hell out of me, then it got fun. From 30 yards shot a propane tank, clean in and out. Crazy close grouping for a rank amateur like me. Highly recommend it if you like shooting for fun.

.500 AE is where it's at. I owned a 50 cal deagle for a brief period of time. That thing was incredible. The recoil was nearly nonexistent, thanks to the 9 pound slab of solid steel soaking it up. So much fun shooting while offshore at targets floating on the water.

I’ve never shot a 50 caliber . That’s a big hunk of lead .

Hey @chemmie , size matters . These guns make ours bigger .

But, does it make you morally straight, like our president and his wife?

Just as straight as that big ole bullet flies son

No way would I shoot anything like that without it being in at least a rifle carbine with more weight, a stock and related control of that recoil.

Why? The recoil is the best part!

Again, that's just me. I don't tempt fate.

Is your stance and grip really so shitty that you can’t manage this weapon?

Yes. I'm not that experienced. I know myself. I don't expect others to be the same though.

 

[btbones]

Yes. I'm not that experienced. I know myself. I don't expect others to be the same though.

And that’s the smart way to be . A weapon you aren’t comfortable with should never be in your hands

Ah, sorry to be so harsh. I figured you’d be more experienced.

i could see shooting it once if a friend had one or rented it at a range. i dont see the point of owning one. dad had a 41 magnum and it was fun on occasion but that was it.

Too easy to make this dirty.

Indeed. I wish we taught more kids this too, instead of them handling one for the first time and being so brash, looking at it like a source of power.

Ah, sorry to be so harsh. I figured you’d be more experienced.

No offense taken. I've only had two (2) NRA safety courses, and only fired 9mm, .45ACP and .22 LR to date.

However, my next door neighbor here in Alabama is a firearms instructor from Miami, and has a little shooting area on his 20 acres. So I plan on getting a lot more experience and exposure later this year.

Too easy to make this dirty.

I'll go there ... I wasn't 'too experienced' before I met my wife either (lots of girlfriends, but so little beyond 2nd or 3rd base).

But none of that matters ... once you find the perfect woman to spend the rest of your life with. I did back in '94.
