So I picked up a snub nosed S&W 500. Took it to the range and shot a few different loadings including the ol' 700gr. Anyway, my roomate and I put 50 rds through it between the two of us. I'm an average guy, so is he. Neither of us are jacked or work out or anything. We are both reasonably experienced shooters and it really wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Neither of us 'lost control' or broke our wrists etc. Don't get me wrong, it kicks brutal, but idk. You see videos of veteran shooters like Hickok and shit always saying things like "I'll only shoot a couple" and "oh man, ouch" etc. Are they just being dramatic? Seems like as long as you're somewhat experienced and have a solid master grip, you're good to go. Even the guy at the store was telling me how I had to employ this special 'lock your support hand around your wrist' grip technique. Very dramatic if you ask me.
Other people that have shot these, what are your thoughts?
P.S. most fun I've had shooting for sure haha
