It is impressive that it will shoot through a cinderblock. Few guns can. Cinderbocks are exceptionally tough, and heavy too. That is why martial artists practice breaking them.
You will recall all the girls swooning and marveling at Markie Mark’s strength when he curled a broom handle with a cinderblock on either end in the “Good Vibrations” video. By my reckoning, he curled almost 17 pounds in that vid.
Had a 4″ S&W 500 for a few years, worked up some handloads for it while I had it. One day at the range the GF (5’10”, 145 lbs) picked it up, asked if she could shoot it, I loaded it with 1 round of Magtech 350 grain. Round fired, she asked to shoot it some more. I didn’t get the gun back until she emptied the box of Magtech 350 grain and a full box of Magtech 400 grain. All but the first round was in the black at 25 yards. She did draw the line at 1 round of Cor-Bon 440 grain hard cast +P. I did, too, when I tried to chronograph it from the bench. Peter Pi rocks, but 1 ounce at 1610 FPS in a 4″ handgun is just too much…..

“You shouldn’t hang me on a door. My father hung me on door… ONCE!”
Watched that the other day on Netflix, and I finally figured out why it wasn’t a big hit.
It wasn’t a funny movie, that’s why.

“Equivalent to the force of a .12 shotgun”

Cinder blocks are light, fragile, and will rust if not painted. Those are concrete blocks.

I can’t believe you tricked me into giving Huffpooh a hit.

They’ve never picked up a .460 Alaskan 2″ unported… Local shop has had a prototype for a few years now, no one wants it (wonder why?)

You shouldn’t shoot me Johnny…
