Handguns
Shooting The GIGANTIC S&W 500 MAGNUM
Let’s face it, when it comes to “hand cannons” there’s definitely one pistol that comes to mind…and that’s the Model S&W500. In 2003 the gunsmiths and engineers at Smith & Wesson wanted to deliver maximum power for serious handgun hunters. The power they sought required an entirely new frame, the massive “X-Frame” and was the basis for the new Model S&W500, the most powerful production revolver in the world. This ushered in the era of the “big gun” and was only the beginning. For ultimate power and velocity there’s nothing even close to an X-Frame model handgun.
Smith & Wesson is one of America’s longest-standing, leading firearm brands for over 164 years. Headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, Smith & Wesson creates next-generation guns for sport, recreation, protection and personal use. Because of this wide variety, Smith & Wesson has something for everyone. Smith & Wesson delivers unmatched superiority through innovative pistols, revolvers, rifles and accessories.
