Built on the massive X-frame and dubbed by the company as the most powerful production revolver in the world the Smith Wesson 500 is a single-double action revolver chambered in 500 SW Mag. Constructed of stainless steel it features a 5-round capacity Hogue grips with finger grooves to reduce felt recoil and adjustable rear sights. For greater stability and accuracy the rifled tube is housed inside a barrel shroud and a centerpin in the back of the cylinder and a ball detent in the frame contribute to lockup.
