Try Two hands if you're Shooting the 500 S&W
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 5/10/2017 | J Hines

Don’t be like this fella here.

While trying to fire one of the biggest rounds from one of the biggest wheel guns, an unprepared shoot nearly earned a Darwin award.

The shooter in this video is firing 700 grain heavy cast trex rounds from a 500 S&W.

If you’re familiar with these rounds you know that most shooters usually take the one-and-done approach. Even with two hands, these rounds can leave your wrists aching.

For whatever reason, this shooter decided to go one-handed.

As the weapon recoils back wildly, the shooter squeezes his hand even harder and unintentionally pulls the trigger a second time.

Seriously, use two hands! See the video here.

I had a 1911 go full auto on me once (broken spring). The rear sight gouged my forehead and blood ran down my face. I got bandaged up and completed the relay. Two hands, folks Always.

Keep two hands, a back brace and a jock strap on whilst firing the S&W 500. this is what the term “hand cannon” was invented for.
