It's been years since I purchased a wheel gun, and I recently became interested in the big bore variety. About a week ago I picked up a S&W 629 and yesterday I purchased a model 500 magnum. Now if I can only find decent prices on 500 mag ammo 
It's amazing how small the 44 mag looks when compared to the 500

Back when the .500 S&W Special* was a hot topic, I came up with this "X-Frame Compact" concept with a shortened "Special-length" frame and cylinder and fixed sights . . .
Yeah, I had too much time on my hands. Photoshop is a helluva drug.
