Smith is no longer owned by the euro weenies that sold out to Klintoon. I think I'll buy one of these.

S&W has also acquired the Walther PPK / PPKs franchise. The little Walther PPKs (.380) has long been our backup pisto lof choice. The new Springfield Armory XPD in 9mm may be a better bet, though.

How does this .50 stack up to the 454 Casull? The article states that the .44 magnum is the most powerful up to now, but it falls far short of the 454.

A friend of mine has been hunting deer for decades using an Army issue .45. There's got to be a heck of a recoil on this .50.

At 15 inches, this pistola gives a whole new meaning to "is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?" At a grand a copy I think I'll take a pasadena. I looked at a fifty cal a few years ago and it was like carrying a Buick. LOL A Sig .45 serves me well. Semper Fi

It wasn't"The Euro-Weenies"that owned Smith&Wesson,it was The Brits.I have two model 629's,but I NEED the new .50cal.!!!

I imagine that with the energy and force created when firing this pistol, S & W will have it ported to reduce recoil. That coupled with the weight will go a long ways in controlling the power that it creates.
Blast on!

Is there an online video stream of someone firing a .50 Magnum?

Fox News had a filler piece about this weapon yesterday. The comment quoted (I don't remember the source) was concern about the .50 being used against police officers.

Smith & Wesson still hasn't issued a public apology for their treachery against American gun owners. I won't buy anything from them, until they do! I've written the company and told them so.
Frankly, I was hoping that S&W would go out of business.
