I have heard the mosquitos in Alaska are huge, but maybe the squirrels are, too? It must be a huge rodent to need all 6 rounds of that! :tup:
Only holds 5 bullets are to big for 6 lol

I have the exact same 4in. 500 and love mine. It's pretty heavy on the recoil side of things but it's so much fun to shoot I just work thru it. The 500 S&W, IMO, is much like shooting a .50 BMG. They both are a lot of fun to shoot and you can just feel/sense the power of them both but neither is something I'd want to spend all do doing. The muzzle blast is pretty substantial. Can you say "headache".
I bought my 500 back in 2006 from Sportsman Warehouse and they also had a 2 1/2in. 500 that came in sort of a kit with a real nice Pelican case. I think they called it The Bear Defense 500 or something like that. They had two of those Bear Defense 500 kits there. Both only had a 2.5 inch barrel and one had orange grips the other kit had black. I almost bought one of them but I thought the gun looked kind of odd with that huge frame and such a short barrel and I figured the recoil on a 2.5 inch 500 S&W had to be brutal. I've never seen one of those kits since. Maybe I should have bought one as a collector item.
I did notice the very first time I shot mine that if I didn't use an extremely tight grip the cylinder would come unlocked and I'd have to click it back shut every firing. Has anyone else ever had this problem shooting a short barreled 500 SW????

Are you sure your thumb isn't directly behind the cylinder release button? The recoil could be causing you to push the button.... :dunno:

It's been some time since I shot it so I honestly don't remember. :dunno:
