What Happened To The 500 ??
« on: August 29, 2010, 02:25:21 PM »
Have had my FFL guy looking for a 500S&W Mag for me for awhile now. Seems they have dried up. Are they still in production ?? Will they be coming out with more in the near future ?? ---pruhdlr

I can't say for sure...but I know when I bought mine a while back I had to get it used because my local dealers never saw them.

If you really can't wait there is one up on GunBroker but you'll probably pay a bit more with FFL charges and shipping.

For a long time my local gun dealer had three that he just couldn't seem to sell. When I finally made up my mind to get one, they were all gone. I ended up getting one from Davidson's, but I haven't seen any there or at Bud's for a while now.

Whittaker Guns had a couple on my last visit, but the fiber sights were broken on one.  Give them a call.
