couple questions in one....
So I have my sights on getting a 460mag revolver in the next couple months and am wondering which is the better gun?
I bought the 500s&w mag from s&w and am fairly pleased with it, extremely accurate. Although something scary did happen when my cousins wife fired it. She fired it in single action and it fired two rounds in a split second. I didn't even know that was possible in a revolver. it was so quick it sounded almost like a single shot. My cousin took her picture right at the time of firing, and the gun had recoiled and flipped all the way around so it was pointing directly at her chest! I was amazed she managed to hang on to it. but that's scary. I decided no one who isn't fairly strong and knows what they are doing is shooting it again. but how could that happen? I had never heard of a revolver going full auto on anyone. it has about 60-70 (about 50 at the time) rounds through it, and has only done it the one time. any info on this?
Back to the other question; what is the better gun, and how does the accuracy compare? I have read all over the place how great the performance center 460 is from s&w. I have read good things about the bfr's from magnum research as well, but no side by side comparisons. the sa and da doesn't other me, I could go either way.
