The X-Frame construction and all-stainless build provide a robust platform for the .500 S&W Magnum. The frame, cylinder, and barrel are stainless steel with a uniform satin stainless finish for durable, glare-reducing performance.
The 8.375 in heavy-profile barrel uses a full-length underlug and is ported with a factory interchangeable compensator. This long-barrel configuration is the factory setup for SKU 163500A and is confirmed by the matching case label.
The revolver operates in double-action/single-action and includes S&W's internal key lock. Target-style iron sights consist of a fully adjustable rear and an interchangeable ramped front blade to fine-tune point of aim.
Ergonomics are handled by black rubber finger-groove grips with a molded S&W logo. The cylinder is a 5-shot design, and the right sideplate carries the S&W crest, matching the classic presentation of this X-Frame model.
Made in the United States, this configuration aligns with S&W part number 163500A (variant of catalog 163500). The included factory-labeled case further substantiates the revolver’s original features and barrel length.
