Description

The Smith & Wesson S&W500 (often just called the Model 500) is a large-frame, double/single-action revolver chambered in .500 S&W Magnum — one of the most powerful handgun cartridges ever made. Introduced in 2003, it was designed around Smith & Wesson’s specially engineered X-Frame to withstand the extreme pressures and recoil of the massive .500 Magnum cartridge.

Smith & Wesson markets the S&W500 as among the most powerful production handguns in the world, with energy and performance that make it suitable for handgun hunting, big game, and enthusiasts interested in maximum power from a revolver.
