This is about nearly 80 ounces!!! That's heavy.its under 80 with no ammo. So it's significantly more with heavy grain ammo.

Corey, This revolver is over 5 lbs. Heavy for a handgun, but lighter then most long guns you would use to harvest game.

At almost 5 pounds empty, and the muzzle brake, you should have no problem hunting with this firearm. That said, it will not be like shooting a 22. This pistol and cartridge are beasts.

Corey, the 500 is a beast in weight even with the shorter barrel models. However, you are afforded rifle like power in a handgun and it will take any North American big game species. A bipod setup makes it much easier - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxuCiEKBKtQ
