hi,
I have been contemplating getting a model 629 magnum revolver sometime and/or a ruger super alaskan .44 magnum or .454 casull. I donot want something that crimps. I recently have been reading many threads here and .500 has come up some(sometimes as a joke or to literally answer the power question) with the bear threads. Relax, this isn't a bear thread.lol. however, I am now considering buying a S&W .500 revolver. I already have 2 revolvers: CCW one is Taurus CIA650 .357 5shot and my other one is my ruger gp100 .357 6shot(ps- we own a mossberg 500 shotgun too which holds 7 in the tube while one is in the chamber and I plan on buying the .44 bigboy henry rifle and/or the 30-30 marlin rifle also).
Its not because of mistaken overkill that I want this .500 revolver, and I know the rounds are expensive. I want the 440gr and I saw they're going on the high 40's for 20shots. I plan on shooting a bunch of shots and just having leftover rounds(like maybe spend a c-note on rounds and make sure to save a bunch). anyways, I want this revolver and am asking if anyone has experience good or bad with it(or the .454 or even the .44 who has some good advice for me or just wants to say whatever about anyone of them such as defects of character, preferences, etc.)?? very much appreciated.
lastly, I read some reviews: google .500 S&W revolver and the guy said that it didn't hurt not one of his friends to shoot(see attached link). he said it was easy to shoot and grip and that any firearms person who pretty much knew how to shoot(or a little closer to very knowledgeable) would have no problems shooting it. barrel length opinions will help if I get any response on this too and I have only seen the 10" and 7.5" so far. It looked like the 7.5was a 5shot but I thought this weapon was a sixer and thats what I prefer?

ps-I am not made of money, and I realized when I mentioned the rifles too my wife Might not like this new hobby(or I should say old hobby that seems to be growing)
