SMITH AND WESSON 500 8.375″ .500S&W MAGNUM
1 in stock
Description
The Smith & Wesson 500 is a large-frame double-action/single-action revolver built on the X-Frame, the platform Smith & Wesson developed specifically to handle the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge. The 8.375 inch barrel configuration stretches the sight radius and lets heavy bullets make full use of the case, which is why this length is the common choice for handgun hunting and long-range revolver work. Size and mass are part of the design here, since the weight of the stainless frame and barrel is what makes full-power loads manageable.
It suits an experienced revolver shooter looking for a big-bore hunting handgun, or a collector who wants the flagship X-Frame in the longer barrel configuration.
Smith & Wesson 500 Features
- X-Frame construction sized around the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge, giving the cylinder and frame the mass needed for repeated full-power loads
- Double-action/single-action trigger, so the shooter can run it straight through on the double-action pull or thumb-cock the hammer for a lighter, more deliberate shot
- Stainless steel build that resists corrosion during field carry and holds up to regular handling
- Adjustable rear sight for dialing point of impact to a specific load, which matters when working with the wide range of bullet weights offered in this caliber
- 8.375 inch barrel that lengthens the sight radius and adds forward weight, settling the muzzle during recovery between shots
- Five-round cylinder chambered for one of the most powerful production revolver cartridges, suited to hunting medium and large game
