Genius!You need the exercise now, more than ever. Get the DE and shoot in tall grass, the ridiculous price for the brass will be a great incentive and you’ll wake up the next day a bit more flexible.

An excellent point!On second thought might want to carry two so you don’t lean to one side.
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.
No, the Mk VII was the predecessor with the slimmer barrel that has a 3/8 dovetail. The Mk VII .50 became the Mk XIX platform.
I'd have to replace the whole upper to make this one a .50.
.50 is fun, but the .44s are much softer shooting and cheaper to feed, so I probably won't have another .50 unless I stumble on a great deal.

This made me laugh out loud...... Nice.Also in the market. I was hoping for a .458 Lott but the .500 nitro makes even less sense so it's a frontrunner LOL
I have XL hands and I find the DE pretty comfortable to grip. My boney fingers didn't care for some of the edges though. But that was like 10 years ago on an older generation, and it sounds like you're in the know on these guns.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. LOL
You probably already know, but if you seriously consider the JRH, contact CraigC. He's well acquainted with that cartridge.There are custom builders and I believe Freedom Arms originally made them.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 jewels
Good feedback thank youBoth, but for me personally revolver all the way. The BFR Bisley grip is a must for recoil and no finger bite. I wear 2xl gloves but force on 1x in deer skin for shooting as the grips get slick in the Alabama heat.
Others have mentioned the ability to download and still function reliably and that is big. I have 3 load levels for my 500L very light, mid range and some that have the potential to turn the front sight into a dna collection device (that I limit as I need to shoot weekly and a lot to be able to have those be useful and until components are flowing again I can’t).
Been there. Not trying to dissuade you. Just be aware, it’s kind of like suppressing an AK47. The gas system makes a lot of noise from gasses that bypass the suppressor.I just need to find a 10" Mk VII barrel to chop and thread for a suppressor.
you’re not really trying until you
