Smith & Wesson

In 2003, Smith & Wesson introduced a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of handgun hunting: the Model S&W500™. Fueled by a desire to provide hunters with maximum power, Smith & Wesson's gunsmiths and engineers embarked on a mission to create the most powerful production revolver in the world. This endeavor led to the development of the massive "X-Frame™," a new frame specifically designed to harness the unparalleled potency of the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge.

The Model S&W500™ stands as a testament to Smith & Wesson's commitment to pushing the boundaries of handgun performance. With a staggering 2600 ft/lb. of muzzle energy, this revolver is unrivaled in its capability to take down any game animal. Despite its formidable power, the recoil of the S&W500™ is effectively tamed by a muzzle compensator, ensuring manageable handling even in the face of such immense firepower.

Designed to excel in both hunting and defensive applications, the S&W500™ offers versatility and reliability in equal measure. Equipped with an internal lock for added safety, this revolver is the ultimate choice for those seeking a dependable backup handgun for dangerous game encounters. Additionally, the inclusion of two removable muzzle compensators further enhances the revolver's adaptability, allowing shooters to tailor their recoil reduction preferences to suit different types of ammunition. With its exceptional muzzle energy capabilities packaged within a robust 56 oz. frame, the Model S&W500™ represents the pinnacle of handgun engineering and performance.
