I've never met anything a Super Redhawk couldn't handle. ;D<br><br>At the end of the linked article. <br><br>&quot;In 2001, the ailing gunmaker was sold by its British owner to an Arizona<br> startup company that all but abandoned the agreement with the<br> government and adopted an aggressive and unapologetic marketing<br> stance. &quot;<br><br>Way to go S&amp;W!!!

Re:New S&W .50 cal.

The last handgun I purchased was just before the Brady bill went into effect, and was a Desert Eagle .50 AE, which I have enjoyed ever since. I hunt deer and hogs with it, and it has all the power I need. I'm glad to see that S&amp;W is no longer owned by the British or any other foreign entity, and has corrected its corporate policy to be in line with the Constitution. Way to go S&amp;W.

Sure looks like fun. But my motto is &quot;If a .44 mag can't take care of it, you have no business using a pistol.&quot;<br><br>I do own a .454 but am much more accurate with the .44 mag.<br><br>Wes<br><br>

Re:New S&W .50 cal.

I like my .50AE Encore it has a lot more recoil then a Desert Eagle.Next perchuse is a BFR in 45-70 or 444marlin.One of the guns I carry in the truck is a .308 Win. in a pistol config.Sounds like a barrel in the caliber I would like .50 Mag ;D My every day gun is a 1911 A2. Ps try shooting a .50AE with 1 hand 8) ;D
