50 BMG 1911. Not for me.
Oh hell! to the NO!
My S&W 500 ES with the shortest non-ported .50 barrel and hot 700gr hardcast loads is basically not manageable and any inexperienced shooter with a less than VERY strong grip will eat the next round when trying to regain hold on it while looking down the pipe.
I shot one 700gr round and had enough. I can shoot a small box of 350gr, and that's enough for a few years.
Fun gun and everybody in the range comes over. Would be good as a last ditch bear-get-off-me gun, if you don't have any follow-up shots planned. That's about it.
That BMG thing though... yeah... HELL no. Not even as a safe queen.
Yeah...Deagle in 50AE is my "big bore" and it makes you grin ear to ear after the first shot - a grin that is gone by the end of the magazine.
