.500 S&W Overall length 2.250 in
.45ACP Overall length 1.260 in

Since many people have complaints about the circumference of a 1911 grip which was designed for the .45 ACP; imagine if you added the needed amount to the circumference for the .500 S&W! Very few people could grip the handgun.

This assumes a design which has the magazine contained in the grip of the handgun, and not something like a boomhandle design.
