Description
In 2003, the gunsmiths and engineers at Smith & Wesson aimed to deliver maximum power for serious handgun hunters. This quest led to the creation of an entirely new frame, the massive ‘X-Frame™,’ which became the foundation for the new Model S&W500™, the most powerful production revolver in the world. This innovation marked the beginning of the ‘big gun’ era.
For ultimate power and velocity, there’s nothing quite like an X-Frame model handgun:
- Most powerful production revolver in the world today
- Massive .500 S&W Magnum cartridge with 2600 ft/lb. muzzle energy
- Suitable for hunting any game animal
- Recoil is tamed with an effective muzzle compensator
- Features an internal lock
- Ideal for ultimate defensive carry and as a backup for dangerous game
- Easily removable muzzle compensator for different recoil reduction effects and to accommodate various types of ammunition
- Comes with two compensators: one for lead bullet and one for jacketed bullet ammunition
- Muzzle energy capability in excess of 2000 ft/lb. in a 56 oz. package
- Includes two muzzle brakes: one for use with jacketed bullets and one for use with lead bullets.
