While I am not a fan of the big X-Frames from Smith and wesson, I wouldbe curious to see how much difference there is between the the 500 Smith and the 500 Linebaugh with short barrels (4"-5 1/2") with bullets in the 400grn range.
The Smith has a significant case capacity advantage, but I wonder how much of a role this plays when the barrel length gets short. I prefer short barrel "packing guns" over long barreled hand cannons.
