Don't hold your breath getting this bad boy in your hands any time soon.

I was at my dealers buying a new toy last week and a guy came in in a panic and said he just had to have one (S&W 500) and when can I get one. The salesman says, "well S&W is telling us July", which the salesman went to say, "that really meant November, and there were already three people ahead of him that the store had ordered for already." And the guy says, "but I called S&W and said they were making them." The salesman says in long a drawn out manner with his eyebrows raised, "yeaaaaaa", as if to imply "what's your point?" The guy walked out dejected. Then the salesman looked at me and said "July really means next year."

That's the way new guns are! It took me a year to get ahold of an MK9. I still don't believe AR-180Bs exist.

At 82 oz. (that is over 5 pounds of revolver) who could lift the thing anyway!

Ya gotta love a hangun that needs a sling!

I think it's tactical handguns....not sure... has a centerfold of it in full size .....it's huge!....and the one they show does not look like the one you have a picture of......I think it is the non ported version.

Anything unveiled at the Shot Show is generally in limited availability by the next shot show.
