.500 S&W Handguns

The Smith & Wesson Model 500 .500 S&W is the one .500 S&W handgun we list. It holds 5 rounds and weighs 69.1 oz. It has a current dealer price, from $1,492.

The S&W Model 500 is a five-shot, large-frame revolver made for hunting big game and defense against large bears. At over four pounds with a long barrel, it rides in a chest or hip holster outdoors, not on an everyday belt. Recoil is severe with full-power loads, so many owners start with lighter .500 S&W loads and work up.
