Smith & Wesson 500 .500 S&W Magnum 4″ Stainless 5Rd Revolver

The Smith & Wesson 500 4" delivers raw magnum force in a shorter, carry-capable configuration. This model features a full stainless steel frame and cylinder, paired with a 4-inch barrel for improved maneuverability. Built on Smith & Wesson’s X-Frame—the largest revolver frame they offer—this .500 S&W Magnum is ready for field carry, dangerous game defense, and high-power shooting. The black synthetic grip provides control and recoil absorption while complementing the brushed stainless finish. Chambered in the heavy-hitting .500 S&W Magnum, this revolver pushes massive energy through its five-shot cylinder. Despite the short 4-inch barrel, it still delivers serious stopping power with reduced weight and better portability. The double-action/single action trigger system allows fast firing or precision aiming, giving shooters the best of both control styles. The fluted cylinder and heavy top strap are built to handle the high pressures of this extreme caliber.

Performance Features:

Performance features include a high visibility front sight and an adjustable rear sight for precision alignment.

The 4 inch barrel allows for quicker presentation and easier holstering compared to longer variants. While still a large revolver, this model is viable for chest rigs, field holsters, or vehicle storage in areas where heavy defense is needed. Whether you’re hiking in bear country or looking for the ultimate range thumper, the M500 delivers unmatched presence and power. Maintenance is simple and essential. Clean the forcing cone, barrel, and cylinder gap regularly to ensure reliable operation under high pressures. Inspect lock up, timing, and frame stress points after heavy shooting sessions. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion and handles outdoor environments well. With proper care, this revolver is built to perform for a lifetime.
