The Smith & Wesson Model 500 X-Frame is a stainless steel double-action revolver chambered in .500 S&W Magnum. It has a five-round cylinder, an 8.38-inch barrel and an overall length of 15 inches, and it weighs 72.5 ounces. A removable high-efficiency compensator helps control muzzle rise. The black Hogue synthetic grips are recoil absorbing, and the sights are an interchangeable red HIVIZ front with a click-adjustable micrometer rear.

The Model 500 is built for handgun hunting and field use where a heavy, powerful cartridge is the goal. Buyers should expect a large revolver with substantial recoil, so the compensator and the recoil-absorbing grip are part of the design. Handgun purchase rules in your state, including age and any permit or waiting period, apply at pickup.
