Smith & Wesson Has New Revolver

Anyone have this bad boy yet?

"SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Dirty Harry is now outgunned: Smith & Wesson has introduced it's biggest handgun ever, a .50 caliber Magnum.

The five-shot revolver with an 8 1/2 inch barrel weighs about 5 pounds - roughly a pound more than the big black .44 Magnum wielded by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movies. It fires a .50-caliber cartridge the company said produces nearly three times the muzzle energy of the .44 -- or enough stopping power to bring down a charging bear.

The gun, which sells for $989, is one of nine new models introduced by Smith & Wesson this week at a trade show in Orlando, Fla."
