Smith & Wesson Model 500 X-Frame Revolver, 4-Inch, .500 S&W Magnum, Stainless, Ported Compensator
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is built on the company’s strongest X-Frame and chambers the powerful .500 S&W Magnum. This 4-inch version combines a ported barrel with a removable compensator to tame recoil while preserving compact overall length. Its brushed satin stainless finish, Hogue rubber Monogrip, and drilled-and-tapped frame for optics make it a standout choice for hunters, back-country defense, and collectors looking for a top-tier big-bore revolver.

What’s Included
- Kydex chest/shoulder holster rig
Smith & Wesson engineered the Model 500 to handle pressures up to 60,000 psi, giving it the highest energy output of any factory wheel-gun in the catalog. The five-shot fluted cylinder and massive X-Frame distribute that pressure safely, while the exposed wide-spur hammer supports both single-action precision and double-action follow-up shots.
The 4-inch stainless steel barrel is factory ported and capped with a removable compensator that redirects gas to reduce muzzle rise. This setup maintains manageable recoil without sacrificing velocity. When hunting or defending against large game, the quick-change compensator is a practical advantage.
A red/orange ramp front sight pairs with a fully adjustable white-outline rear blade for fast target acquisition in varied light. If optics are preferred, the topstrap is drilled and tapped, letting you mount a scope or reflex sight without gunsmithing.
Durability features include a brushed satin stainless finish on the frame, cylinder, and barrel, plus synthetic rubber Hogue Monogrip stocks with finger grooves for a secure hold in wet or gloved conditions. Internal safety measures—an integral key-activated lock and hammer block—add peace of mind during transport or storage.
