Has anyone tried it on this model? I currently have a 4" version, and will probably be acquiring an 8" version shortly.

How does it shoot right now? Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Hard to say, really -- It seems to shoot OK, but I'm having difficulty getting used to the revolver trying to torque out of my hand. I certainly wouldn't hunt w. it at the moment -- not that I ever intended to w. a 4" version.

Leave it alone. It will do all you want with more accuracy then you are capable of. Practice and get used to the gun. The Taylor throat will not change anything and could make it worse. | |||

Hey 'Lifter, Call me a weenie if you want, but I don't think I'd be interested in shooting anymore from your 4 incher. That was as close as I have ever been to eating a revolver! Of course I could blame it on the fact that I am used to a lose grip on the plow handle of my Freedom mod 83  ! Now if you acquire an 8 incher that could be interesting. I am lookin forward to it as a matter of fact.Andy B We Band of Bubbas N.R.A Life Member TDR Cummins Power All The Way Certified member of the Whompers Club | |||

How about getting a comp for it? Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

I agree, I was told by a gunsmith to not get my S&W 500 mag maxi throated. He said the same thing you just did about making things worst. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

Peter, the S&W 4 inch comes with 2 comp's. One for jacketed bullets and one for cast. The only S&W 500 Mag that don't come with comp's are the 2 1/2 inch and John Ross PC model. Personally my 4 inch has a custom end cap. I did not like either of the comp's and don't use one. Recoil is not bad at all, and I did not really notice any difference in felt recoil. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||

I'd like to try it w. the solid end cap, but I understand that S&W no longer sells it. (AFAIK, to get one for the 500, you had to buy one for the 460 and modify it.) I agree the recoil didn't seem that bad, just the "squirmyness" of it And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. | |||

That is what I had done to my 500 Mag. If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Member of the Delaware Destroyers Member Reeders Misfits NRA Life Member ENDOWMENT MEMBER NAHC Life Member DSA Life Member | |||
