Fired a full cylinder of 500 Smith and Wesson

This isn’t a practical carry caliber but it’s an experience. The recoil is powerful and the physics are undeniable. It’s not something I’d do regularly but I’m glad I tried it. Some experiences are worth having just to understand them.

I agree, it’s less about shooting it well and more about surviving the experience with your dignity intact.

Some calibers are less about practicality and more about respect for physics, you feel it immediately.

I fired one of those just once. My hand ached for two whole days afterward. It's impressive how they built it, really but completely impractical for anything regular. Still, it's one of those things you just have to try, you know, just once.
