Smith & Wesson Model 500 4" X-Frame Revolver, .500 S&W Magnum, Satin Stainless
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is built on the company’s massive X-Frame and retains the title of the most powerful production revolver on the market. This 4" variant combines a tensioned rifled barrel sleeve, a removable compensator, and a satin stainless finish that stands up to heavy .500 S&W Magnum loads. Factory drilling and tapping on the topstrap simplifies optic installation, while Hogue rubber finger-groove grips keep control manageable.

This Model 500 uses a ported stainless steel barrel with a detachable compensator optimized for different bullet types, letting the shooter fine-tune recoil management and blast control.
The X-Frame’s robust stainless steel construction pairs with chamfered charge holes for smooth loading of the five-round cylinder, even with the cartridge’s large case head.
A smooth combat trigger and exposed hammer support both double-action and single-action shooting, while an integral key lock adds optional security without external clutter.
Iron sights consist of an interchangeable red-ramp front and a fully adjustable rear blade, and the drilled-and-tapped topstrap accepts popular scope mounts when greater precision is desired.
