Worst gun ever for Texas unless I am shooting criminals thru 7 walls

Looks like it's made out of part of your wrist there Anni

All kidding aside.....it’s always nice and very fun to own one of these hand cannons, no matter which one you choose, loads of fun, plus all the looks at the gun range..

Agreed, even my 50AE Deagle got lots of looks and "what's that" down at the range.

I had one of those, in brushed chrome, 325gr bullets, big bullet, big noise...,

And quite the muzzle flash

I would disagree with the SRH being stronger than the X-Frame S&W .460...it's the same frame that the .500 uses.
The .460 isn’t all that bad to shoot; .454 in it is pretty mild...but 5 pounds of handgun goes a long way in taming recoil.

True story:
A buddy and I were at Bills indoor range a few years ago; he brought his 4” .500 S&W, and his...rather warm...handloads.
On a fairly busy Saturday.
Set up, ran the target out to 7 yards, he said I should try it out...brought it up, aimed...
WHAAAAM.
Brilliant purple-orange fireball. The muzzle blast ripped the target out of the hangers (I drilled the 10-ring, though).
The entire range fell utterly silent.
The guy in the lane next to us jumped back—the muzzle flash was well in his lane.
A range officer appeared as if he had teleported...thought there had been a catastrophic failure, someone's gun blew up...laughed when he saw what we were shooting, said we just might want to run the target out a bit further next time...

I prefer .50 in long form

It was probably one of those guns that is the reason I’m using hearing aids now. 
I spoke directly with Annihilator about getting a revolver recently as I was thinking about carrying one in an ankle rig. After research I realized wearing pull on calf high boots won’t work with a ankle holster. I also found the comments in this post on SW Quality issues interesting especially after the gun store I visited which is part of the outdoor range I shoot at says they don’t sell Smith&Wesson guns

I used to have a Super Blackhawk in .44. It was a very well made gun. Very accurate. I think it was 10 or 10.5". Recoil is not light. Certainly not unmanageable but I wouldn't classify it as a fun gun to shoot. DIdn't check all the boxes I needed for Missouri whitetail hunting either. Primarily because it's hard to shoot one handed comfortably.
The Taurus has an 8 3/8" ported barrel, is easy to shoot one handed with either hand and deadly accurate to 100 yards or better.
This is a spike I shot last day of the season in 2006 from around 90 yards.

My 50AE Deagle looks a bit different than the one you're holding (and it's no wonder you shake while firing it with your bad wrist
).
