Took my 500 to the range with my dad and it happened again I got to gloat over my 500 with two of the shooters there. They asked me how does it handle and I pretty much told them it depend on the type of ammo you're using but over all if you can handle a .44 mag the S&W 500 is pretty much a pussy cat---unless you put in ammo in it that has a FPS over 2000 then the gun will start to rattle you a bit.
So, tell me. Did you aim at the clouds after every shot with the .500?
Nope---Honestly my 500's heavy enough and with that 8 inch barrel with the bullets I shoot with, the recoil is even with the .44 Magnum. Now my more expensive rounds I have for it have a FPS muzzle velocity of 2075, those hurt as I can only shoot two times with it before my hand begins to hurt and that's even with shooting gloves.
The Century Arms C-93 is pretty close to an MP5 but the one I had I didn't like. Maybe if I could have replaced the magazines and gave the gun a really good cleaning, it might have been a decent gun but as it was I gave it back to the gun shop and bought an AR-15 instead.

Well, as I won't be able to ever get me greasly mitts on an MP5 I have just ordered a 36 caliber Allen & Thurber pepperbox instead. An interesting weapon that even if it's old and uses black powder, still has capabilities as a defensive weapon even today.
Two birds with one stone, much as I hate to say it..
Been shooting The Big Gong self "healing" target and it works and it don't. Depending on the ammo it'll either penetrate the gong or get stop all together, so far its been able to handle my .38spl, .357 Magnum and my 500 fairly well. My dad's .22cal and my 17 HMR seem to go through it. Still its nice to have to shoot at.

With fast rounds that target is no fun. My .22LR makes it swing as if it was an amusement park ride, but with my .30-06 it barely moved. Goes through too fast for it to react.
