I just turned 50 and I have an excuse to buy one. Should I get a DE or a .500 JRH revolver? I have no practical need for either. Just want one.
Also in the market. I was hoping for a .458 Lott but the .500 nitro makes even less sense so it's a frontrunner LOLWhy not a .500 Nitro double rifle? Time to up your 3 gun game.

Hope you have big hands, I couldn't fully get my medium-sized mitts around the grip. That said, the US-built ones are very well made and surprisingly soft-shooting.I just turned 50 and I have an excuse to buy one. Should I get a DE or a .500 JRH revolver?

I have L/XL sized hands but I’ve handled the DE before (even shot one round of .50 out of one once) and it’s still pretty chunky. But ergos are secondary when you step into the ridiculous.

The devil you say!IMO, there is very little practical use to a .50 cal semi auto pistol or revolver
is the MKVII the new kinder, gentler, lighter design? Is the MKXIX the old full size frame? My brother had one of the early .357s with the smaller frame but sold it off. Obviously I don’t know much about these beasts.They are fun. Mostly novelty, but if you want to hunt with a handgun, they have the power and accuracy.
I sold my Mk XIX .50 years ago to pay my mortgage during the recession, but a couple years ago I scored a great deal on a Mk VII .44 mag. I just need to find a 10" Mk VII barrel to chop and thread for a suppressor.
There are custom builders and I believe Freedom Arms originally made them. Not sure if they still do. Plus FA revolvers are generally out of my price range , though pretty as jewelsTurning 50, get a 50. As good an excuse as any. For the JRH, are there any revolvers other than the BFR? Just curious, the BFR is really good looking.
