What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 500 (X-Frame) revolver
The X-Frame design houses a five-shot cylinder chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, built from stainless steel with a uniform satin stainless finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver. The configuration balances strength and shootability while maintaining the classic exposed-hammer, double-action/single-action layout.
The 8.38-inch stainless two-piece barrel and shroud incorporate a full-length underlug and a factory compensator with porting to help manage recoil and muzzle rise. This setup is purpose-built for the cartridge and contributes to the revolver’s approximately 15.0-inch overall length.
Sight regulation is handled by an adjustable rear sight paired with a ramped front blade for a clear sight picture. The topstrap is drilled and tapped for a scope base, offering a straightforward path to add a mount if desired.
Controls and handling features include a smooth, wide trigger for deliberate DA pulls and precise SA shots, plus black synthetic rubber finger-groove grips with S&W medallions for a secure, repeatable hold. In this configuration, the revolver weighs approximately 69.3 ounces.
