The KFF Defense inventory includes the Smith & Wesson Model 500, engineered specifically for high-energy handgun applications such as serious hunting and backcountry defense. This revolver is built upon the robust X-Frame architecture, designed to effectively manage the substantial recoil impulse and muzzle energy of the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge. Its inherent operational reliability and potent power output position it as a primary tool for rigorous outdoor environments where absolute performance is paramount.
Construction integrates an 8.38-inch stainless steel barrel, paired with a matching stainless steel cylinder and frame. This material specification ensures superior structural integrity and corrosion resistance, critical for sustained field use under diverse environmental conditions. A fixed compensator is precisely integrated into the barrel. This design element functions to actively mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing the operator to achieve more rapid and controlled follow-up shot placement. This directly enhances the shooter’s command over the firearm during high-power discharge sequences.
