S&W 500 brand new unfired Includes Kodiak chest holster also new. I ended up buying a snub nose one so I don’t need this. $1600.00 OBO

I have shot the 4" and thiunk the longer barrel makes more sense. The 4" version seemed to have more flash & noise but less power that I thought it would have.
They have the same power.. The longer barrel might retain a little higher velocity. It also depends on the grain of ammo you were shooting. If you shoot that 705gr ammo from Underwood, it'll have more recoil than 250gr plinking ammo..
 
I bought a LNIB Magna Ported (Factory?) 9" barreled Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull a couple of years ago. I like shooting it, but I can't imagine shooting one or a .500 with a 2.5" barrel? Guess I'm just a sissy? LOL Your Smith .500 with the holster seems like a very fair deal. Just curious as to the value of the holster? Thanks.

It’s the $300 + shipping Kodiak chest holster from Galco. Very well made, and thank you… it is a great package deal. I’m hoping that no bites on the good deals on guns I have up (only to this community) is just a wait and see thing until the election???
 
LES7,
This seems like a very good deal for a big bore handgun. Based upon shooting a friend's 500, they are very well made and capable pistols. If I didn't own a Super Redhawk in 454, I would be interested in your gun.

@85lc - interesting comment, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post about the S&W .500 and the words “Less Power”…..”Less” then what, a Bazooka? I have shot the .500 and also their .460XVR —- POWER is an understatement.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
