10drenkor, the recoil of the 500 S&W is not bad in a handgun. To me it feels about equal to heavy loads in my .45-70. I do prefer shooting rounds with high recoil in a handgun rather than a rifle. I think with a handgun, your arms dampen the recoil. With a rifle the recoil has nowhere to go but directly into your shoulder. I don't know if thats true, but it makes sense to me.
Ihunter03, of the three choices, I would go with the 500 W.E.
