Cooper on the S&W 500

"Standing out amongst new handguns is the "Dino Pistol" of Smith & Wesson. This is a gigantic 5-shot wheel gun taking the 500 Smith & Wesson cartridge. It is so big and heavy that it reintroduces the job description of "gun bearer." It is to pistols what the 700 Nitro cartridge is to rifles - an exercise in the possible without any consideration of what might be desirable, needful or necessary. I bet it will sell like Big Macs."
