Ruger Redhawk in .475Linebaugh

Too much gun for me! Unless I was hiking in grizzly-bear country.

Some years ago a guy I knew got one of SW's new .500 mags -- I had to put it down after three shots.

A man's gotta know his limitations!

The .475 Redhawk weighs half of the smallest S&W 500 revolver. That'll let you get an idea of how much recoil we're talking about here.

Joe. This one has taken a 900lb Alaskan Brown.
