I've been toying with the idea of a 50 for some time. Was looking into a John Ross 500 S&W. But those x frame guns are a little too bulky for my tastes.
Yes, the X-Frame is a tad bulky, but all 50's are just a tad larger than what most have been use to shooting.
That JR 500S&W is a fine revolver. I and another JR owner had to ream our charge holes out, as they were undersized. I also had a cylinder gap problem but after fixing that, the JR is one nice revolver.
If you have any desire to shoot 500 to 650 grain cast loads at 60K/70K psi, I think the X-Frame will suit your needs very well. If you have no desire for that level of discomfort, then the 500JRH should provide the scratch for that 50 itch.
