So I am at the local range, plinking away with my Single Six (with ammo I bought 3 years ago at "normal" prices thankfully). When I stop to reload, this guy plunks down the biggest, baddest handgun round I've ever seen. He goes, "wanna shoot it?"
"Hell yes." I replied.
It was a 4 inch(?) S&W 500 magnum. I gripped it with both hands as best I could. I'm trying to concentrate on the front site but all I can think of are all those youtube videos of people getting smacked in the face when it goes off.
BOOM!!!
The boom, recoil, and concussion were awe inspiring. A true hand cannon.
I asked the guy, "What do you shoot this at?"
"Whatever I want." he replies.
Fair enough dude.
So, a big "thanks" to the stranger who let me shoot his 500 and made my day! Gun people are the best.
