Smith & Wesson 163500 Model 500, 500 S&W Magnum, 8.38 inch Barrel, 5 Round, Satin Stainless

The Smith & Wesson 163500 Model 500 is the X-Frame flagship and the most powerful production revolver in the world today, built around the massive .500 S&W Magnum cartridge that produces around 2600 ft—lb of muzzle energy and delivers the kind of terminal performance serious handgun hunters demand. With an 8.38" satin stainless barrel, fixed compensator and a 5-round cylinder, this Model 500 marries brute force to controllability: the compensator and 71.4 oz stainless construction tame recoil for follow-up shots on big game while the interchangeable front and adjustable rear sights allow fast, repeatable sighting in the field. The satin stainless X-Frame and stainless barrel/cylinder offer corrosion resistance and durability for outdoors use, the synthetic black finger-grooved grips give secure purchase for heavy recoil loads, and the single/double-action trigger and exposed hammer provide traditional revolver operation and quick follow-up capability. As a hunting handgun engineered for bear, hog, elk and other large game, it's also built with an internal lock for safe storage and carries a 15" overall length that balances muzzle control with portability. Buyers should note FFL transfer is required for this firearm.
