4” barrel? Man, that is short. That has to cut down the weight of the weapon and make it difficult to handle recoil. I had a close encounter at the range with a 500 as well. A petite woman, she couldn't be over 5’ and 100lbs, took a shot, the 500 went over her head and she double shot through the roof.

There’s always some idiot that thinks giving his wife/gf a hard recoiling gun is funny. The 500’s can double it not really held hard, actually “bump firing” because it moves back enough in the hand to reset the trigger.

I haven’t shot anything bigger than a .44 Mag in sometime, did some nerve damage to my hands in my “laugh at recoil” days.

Big fan of the .38 Super, almost .357 (125 grain) performance with 9mm recoil and 9+1 magazines. Plus it doesn’t bark like the .357 Sig.
