I never saw the need to get a .500 S&W.  A heavily loaded .45 colt is enough for me, and I can get repeated shots much faster then the .500.  Honestly If I need anything more I'm going to a rifle like this.

I fired a brand new .50 AE in an AMT Automag V once. Just once though because the lever on the safety sheared off and hit me in the forehead. I might have fired it a second time but that seemed like a sign.

Oh how I lusted after an original 44 Automag.  But alas, two kids a wife and a mortgage came first.  However if anyone knows where a Webley Fosbery can be found fairly reasonable, let me know.

I liked shooting 500S&W better than 50AE. The DE was never comfortable in my hand.

450BM is enough of a beast in a rifle, though I do want to own something .50 at some point.

Yeah, I had the chance to buy an original Automag for $350 back in the 70s, but I was a poor college student.  The “Automag V” from AMT was nothing like it.  It was a poor man’s alternative to the Desert Eagle, which was a much better pistol.  
I’ve also fired the 50 BMG cartridge in a bolt action rifle.  That was more enjoyable than the “Automag V”.  At least nothing hit me in the forehead.

Good luck finding a Webley-Fosbery.
