Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model S&W500

In 2003, Smith & Wesson’s gunsmiths and engineers set out to deliver maximum power for serious handgun hunters, resulting in the creation of the massive "X-Frame™" and the Model S&W 500, recognized as the most powerful production revolver in the world. Performance Center firearms, like this model, originate from standard designs or are built from scratch, blending hand-cutting, fitting, and fine-tuning with modern technology for top-tier performance. This double/single-action revolver, chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, features a 10.5-inch stainless steel barrel with a muzzle brake, offering exceptional control over its formidable recoil and making it a standout choice for extreme hunting applications.

Delving into its premium features, the S&W500 includes a chrome hammer and chrome trigger with trigger stop for smooth, precise operation, a PC-tuned action for enhanced accuracy, and a stainless steel finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder for durability and corrosion resistance. The synthetic grips provide a secure hold, while the orange ramp front sight and adjustable rear sight ensure pinpoint targeting at long ranges. Weighing 78.9 ounces and measuring 18 inches overall, its robust construction handles the immense energy of .500 S&W loads with ease, embodying old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge design.

Ideal for handgun hunting of the largest game or collectors seeking unmatched power, the Performance Center Model S&W500 excels in rugged outdoor pursuits. Its extended barrel and tuned components make it manageable for experienced users, delivering confidence-inspiring performance backed by Smith & Wesson’s legacy of innovation.
