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 500™, the most powerful
production revolver in the world.
This
ushered in the era of the "big gun" and was only the beginning.
What followed was a 4" barrel Model 500™, strong enough
for the biggest game, yet easy to carry. New this year is the addition
of a .50 caliber model, with an 8-3/8" barrel and removable compensator,
and the remarkable Model 460XVR, with the highest muzzle velocity
on earth. For ultimate power and velocity there's nothing even close
to an X-Frame model handgun.
