Built on S&W's X-Frame, this Model 500 is purpose-built for the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge. The heavy, shrouded barrel with full underlug and integral multi-port compensator helps manage recoil and muzzle rise while maintaining balance. The 5-shot fluted cylinder provides robust support for the cartridge in a streamlined profile.
The revolver is double-action/single-action with a wide smooth trigger and a wide checkered hammer spur, offering controlled operation in either mode. An internal key lock is integrated for added security when desired.
Construction is all stainless steel across the barrel, frame, cylinder, and receiver, finished in a satin/brushed stainless that resists the elements and is easy to maintain. The black rubber finger-groove monogrip with S&W medallions provides a firm, repeatable hold.
Sighting is straightforward and precise, using a ramped front blade and an adjustable rear square-notch. Per the factory label, this configuration weighs approximately 72 oz and corresponds to S&W product code/mfg part number 163500. Made in the United States.
