The Smith & Wesson Model 500 Performance Center revolver is purpose-built for extreme power applications, primarily catering to serious handgun hunters requiring uncompromising terminal performance. Engineered on the robust X-Frame platform, this revolver delivers substantial energy and velocity, managed through a meticulously crafted design.
Key Features
Construction and Materials
The Model 500 Performance Center features a robust stainless steel X-Frame, cylinder, and 7.50-inch barrel, ensuring durability and structural integrity under the significant pressures generated by the 500 S&W Magnum cartridge. The matte stainless steel finish provides a durable, non-reflective surface. Performance Center integration signifies a refined application of traditional craftsmanship blended with contemporary manufacturing processes to optimize component fit and finish.
Performance and Ergonomics
The 7.50-inch barrel length is selected to maximize projectile velocity and energy transfer. An integrated muzzle brake effectively mitigates felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for enhanced control and faster follow-up shot acquisition despite the powerful cartridge. Black synthetic grips are fitted to provide a secure and comfortable purchase, further contributing to shooter control. The revolver maintains a 5-round cylinder capacity.
Precision and Reliability
Precision is enhanced through a chromed hammer and a chromed trigger with an integrated stop. This configuration provides a crisp, predictable trigger pull, essential for accurate shot placement. The substantial X-Frame design inherently contributes to the firearm’s reliability and longevity, engineered to consistently perform with high-energy loads.
