This old-fashioned, single/double action, 5-round capacity revolver shoots .500 Magnum and it’s one of the most powerful firearms in the gun world. It is a kind of gigantic, massive revolver of 15 inches (with an 8.38-inch barrel) overall length and weight up to 72 oz, very suitable for hunting, self-defense, or any other purpose. Surprisingly enough, the recoil is not as much high as it's expected to be, compared to the gun’s size. Recoil is reduced with an effective, easily removable muzzle compensator, intended to accommodate different types of ammo as well. Two muzzle breaks also increase control and maneuverability. The front and rear sights are adjustable. The grip is synthetic and has an additional Hogue recoil-absorbing device with finger grooves that help with handling. The barrel, frame, and frame finish are made of stainless steel. There are several variations with the 500 series. The main difference between the variants is the barrel length, which varies between 3.5 inches to 8.38 inches. Overall, this is a huge and strong revolver that uses a powerful caliber, purposed mostly for hunting and self-defense.
