Built on the X-Frame, this Performance Center S&W500 combines stainless steel construction throughout with a satin stainless finish on the frame, cylinder, and barrel assembly. The non-fluted five-chamber cylinder underscores the model’s robust design while maintaining a 5-round capacity in .500 S&W Magnum.
The 3.5-inch barrel is housed in a slab-sided shroud with a full-length underlug and an oval window that exposes the knurled ejector-rod tip. An integrated muzzle compensator is incorporated to help manage muzzle rise, and the topstrap/rib is longitudinally serrated to reduce glare.
Sighting is fast and precise with a HIVIZ green fiber-optic front blade paired to an S&W adjustable square-notch rear. Controls include a teardrop, checkered S&W cylinder latch, a wide smooth-face trigger, and a wide hammer with a checkered spur. S&W-branded black rubber finger-groove grips provide a secure, cushioned hold.
Performance Center details include dedicated roll marks and a sideplate medallion, reflecting its enhanced feature set within the series. The revolver is double-action/single-action and is made in the United States.
