I too have a Smith 500 with a 4 inch barrel. It is fun to shoot and it is truly a hand cannon. Worth the excitement of the recoil and leaves the wrist,elbow and sometimes the shoulder wondering what happened. Just saying!

Thanks Tom.....been wanting to try one.
Of course if it was all I had between me & a bear I doubt I would notice the recoil at the moment!
I would be curious how well a FN 5.7 would do....20 rounds makes a lot of swiss cheese.
