I really have no use for Smith and Wesson, nor for one of their overpriced and underfinished handguns. If I want something suitable for nailing a bear, I'll use a short shotgun with slugs, or better, a decent rifle; if portability is an issue, as it was back in the days when I was flying a shortwing Piper Tri-Pacer around Alaska's dirtfield and bush airstrips, I might consider the new S&W cartridge, but almost certainly not in the S&W-made pistol. And in a Thompson Center contender, the cartridge might be well-suited for hunting moose or elk, and maybe even whitetail deer, maybe downloaded a smidgen.
But that said, I'd much rather live in a world where the S&W .500 Magnum revolver exists and Illinois Quisling politician Danny Davis does not than vice versa. And if both are removed from the American scene, I would certainly more miss the passing of the handgun, for which I could conceivably come up with a use, than that of the cheap shyster politico, for whom I can see no good use at all.
