I would like to have an S&W .50 cal. but I can think of few real uses for it.

If I had one, I would download it to a bit more power than a .44 mag. A model 29 or Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 mag do not bother me but I really don’t want much more recoil.

It would make a good pickup truck gun, again with milder but still powerful hand loads.

I have thought about the .500, and have fired one. I would probably obtain the .460 magnum, built on the same frame.

The major reason I would want one is that they are extremely well made revolvers. They have to be to give the performance that they do.

For me, it is too easy to take a deer with a long gun with today's optics. The new challenge will be my S&W 500. I will get my chance this year in south Texas.

Here's a .50 caliber revolver that might be more practical: Freedom Arms .500 Wyoming Express
