Built on Smith & Wesson's X-Frame, this Model 500 combines a robust stainless steel construction with a five-shot fluted cylinder designed for the .500 S&W Magnum. The frame, cylinder, and barrel are finished in satin/brushed stainless for durability and a clean, uniform appearance.
The 8.375 in heavy barrel includes a full-length rib and underlug, along with a factory muzzle compensator/porting to help manage the powerful cartridge. A shrouded, knurled ejector rod complements the barrel assembly for positive extraction.
Sight regulation is handled by adjustable iron sights, pairing a ramped, interchangeable-style front sight with an adjustable rear sight. The DA/SA action uses a smooth wide trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur for confident control.
Ergonomics are anchored by black textured rubber grips with finger grooves and S&W medallions. The revolver measures approximately 15.0 in overall and weighs about 71.9 oz unloaded per factory specification, providing a stable platform for the caliber.
