I have heard that Smith and Wesson VASTLY under estimated the demand for these monsters, so I would assume it would be awhile.

I don't really like magnum revolvers, but I want one of these also. I read a review that they are heavy enough that they are not as obnoxious as a short barrelled .44 magnum (not that I believe that).

Just called Jerry's and they say sometime in May, seems there are a ton of people who want this boomer.

S&W rep told me that S&W took orders for 10K of these at the Shot Show. Delivery is supposed to be sometime this summer.

Has anyone heard any estimates of what the ammo for this pig is gonna cost? For $2-3 a shot it better blow cars up like they do in the movies, or at least hit the bad guy hard enough to make him fly back 6 feet and through a plate glass window.

Your right it is not going to be a plinking gun, as much as the ammo costs, it will be a great hunting gun, and I will shoot it enough to make sure I am familiar with it for hunting. Other than that ??????????????????

Owning a Wesson Supermag revolver for some time, I am familiar with that size of weapon. It is more than I want to carry for a long time. I am not too curious about the 500. I'm glad someone finally went, 'over the top." Glad it is here, wish new owners all the fun in the world; I just don't want one.
I'd rather have a Ruger 480
Or a small frame BFR in 50 Action Express
That's really all I want out of a revolver.
