The king of revolvers .500 MAGNUM

[@jeffreylocke8808]

I absolutely love my 6.5 inch half-lug barrel model 500 with integral compensator and ports built into the barrel. I am enamored with the way it looks and balances. Not for sale ever, but to be passed on to my son.

[@FREEDOMNOW33]

The 4 Inch is what I have .Sometimes I carry for protection . mostly for defense in home invasions .

[@Conky88]

You'll be in prison for shooting someone with a 50cal.

[@Luke-wy1fn]

Why do u say that? ​@@Conky88

[@artymech]

AWESOME! i have the 4in one and when i go to the range everybody wants to know who the hell is making all that noise!! the action is something you have to feel. just talking about it does no justice! love it and is my best wheel gun i have in all my gun collection!!

[@jimwest1967]

california will probably classife this as artillery

[@GunsHarleysUSA]

I see you got it working.....I've got these same two S&W's .500's, and I did pay a lot more for the 4" incher, but it was money well spent. I enjoy the hell out of them, but not as often as I'd like, it can get a little costly shooting more than once a month, with these two. I even bought two Galco matching holsters for them, why I don't know, just did I guess. I hope you enjoy your's as much as I do......Take care brother Paul, and keep safe.

[@jamieallen2126]

I had a hard time choosing when I bought mine!!! Years ago, I bought a raging bull with 8 3/8 barrel and since I didn't buy it solely to hunt with, it was too much to try and carry daily!!! I ended up trading it for a 300 ultra magnum but about a year ago I went to Cabellas and there was both of these guns in the display!!! I thought long and hard on it and bought the 4 inch!!! Never been happier!!!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

I use the cast bullet muzzle-brake exclusively because it also shoots jacketed bullets and seals the top ports off and creates what amounts to making it the actual barrel length of the barrel.

[@PutnU2sleep]

Seriously...is the gun store your in your house? You have a never ending supply of awesomeness.

[@vikingmike8139]

Nice gun/s, the 500 Magnum. The two of them look super cool together. I would imagine the shorter 4" barrel has a fair amount more recoil than the longer 8" barrel.

[@xaybossvt9199]

I love my 500 s&w

[@2Brandec]

I have the 4”, is it bad I want to buy 8” too??

[@archerxtremebowhunter2640]

Sir, you are a blessed man to own these to jewels!

[@Threllkild]

Absolutely gorgeous. If you like guns, this has to be on your "dream list". Dream come true for you H4T. Love your vids especially the rants!

[@ricardovelasco3976]

Personally I think the 6.5 inch barrelled version represents the most balanced revolver of this gun family.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

I have a 500 S&W 6.5 inch half-lug barrel with integral compensator ports on either side of the front sight. Looks like a 5 inch 629 44 magnum in proportion. Love it and how it balances in my hand.

[@alancruiser6139]

That's nice camera work!

[@radz282003]

My buddy let me put several rounds through his 4-inch barrel with compensator, and even though I'm a novice gun-person, I can totally appreciate your comments about the trigger on that thing. It was SO easy to aim. I was hitting 4-out-of-5 soda cans, from about 30-yards, without a problem. Dare I say it was a bit easier to shoot than my .44 DE... :) I still love my DE, though. If I can get another gun, it will be the S&W .500 :D

[@mhlaw229]

Great video. Thanks for taking your time and doing such great close up work

[@bowtech340]

Have one too, bought mothers mag aluminum polish made it look like nickel... Awsome firearm... Great vid, Thanks...

[@albertseifert6562]

I think s&w has some of the smoothest triggers.

[@suburbansentinel]

Nice, love to have the 4" for a woods gun. Ammo must be hellaciously expensive.

[@anderwmarcell9503]

I agree S&W made a work of art with the X frame. I own two .460s and one of the first .500s. I find the 460s shoot flatter and may be harder kicking than the 500. The 500 is more accurate. Yes they have better actions than my Pythons. Thanks for the excellent presentation.

[@MrKgaines71070]

The compensator screw is reverse threaded. You turn it clockwise to loosen and release the grip on the compensator. If you put an Allen wrench in there and crank on it the wrong way to release the compensator, you will almost certainly strip out the screw and end up sending it back to the factory to get it fixed.

[@WaconiaPrepper]

What do they go for new and or used! Whats a fair price? Thanks great vid

[@thisisKB87]

I love your close up shows btw. :p

[@Area51Enduro-Tony]

Very informative video! 👍🏻

[@rockinron4725]

Gorgeous gun!! I have a 6.5" barrel length version with fixed fluted compensator. Ron

[@niceguy60]

I just bought a Performance Center 460XVR 7.5", beautiful gun which chambers 3 calibers

[@davidvinyard4710]

I've shot this beast, and it was absolutely amazing. Incredibly smooth trigger pull, but holy hell does it kick. My elbow hurt for 3 or 4 days afterwards. Still awesome though.

[@soldier553]

I want to try one of those one day

[@artistjohnwoolley]

Is there a difference in performance between the two barrel sizes?

[@crutchio6571]

I prefer the 4 inch barrel because in my honest opinion it kicks a little less compared to the longer barrels because of the difference in muzzle velocity

[@Jason-hp7ed]

is that a Crack or a scratch right next to the trigger?8:39

[@Jason-hp7ed]

I mean hammer

[@THE96reaper1]

3 years too late...but that looks to be the seam of the side plate

[@MrKano37]

I just bought mine today!!!! Got the 4" barrel. Can't wait to get to the range fast enough. Nice video!!!!

[@jonsmith3623]

Yep I want one but I have to get a 357 stubby and a 44 mag in s&w first. Just can't afford to buy another caliber yet.

[@maylaynium]

Lol I remember my 357 Magnum police revolver that I used to illegally own in the UK didn't trigger as gently as the 500 mag.. God this piece is AWESOME!!!

[@michaelkclark6981]

Yasir Shah - Illegally ? 🤔

[@edged_mindset]

Amazing! You still have it?

[@humans4targets2]

Yes I do!

[@jefferyboring4410]

I’ve got the 4” spent forever polishing and getting the machine marks out. I started reloading for it. If I couldn’t reload it I’d not like it as much. I can make lower power loads and blackpowder loads I cast the 440 lee shooting black powder out of these is a lot of fun and less experienced shooters can shoot those loads. But beware they bruisers don’t let new shooters shoot but one rd in the cylinder at a time. Their known to bump fire !

[@dioneitajuba]

Magnificent and amazing video. I am from Brazil and here, unfortunately, we can't have such guns...Brazilian laws don't permit guns of such caliber. Thanks for the video.

[@MR500BULLIT]

Just don't know how I missed these vid. Paul! Great close-ups on these monsters. Hey, Paul, it would be great well it's kind a request ,if u can put together the Colt Python & the Colt King Cobra. Some close-ups would be much appreciate . Take care. Paul.

[@iceblock3]

What’s your favorite revolver you have / caliber is it

[@WAFFENSS69]

Interesting gun but is it useful for anything other than target practice???/

[@gmanbeavis]

I'd say that these 500's are just as smooth as my 460 is. I looove the action and trigger on my 460, but I think that my mom's 6" Colt King Cobra .357 Mag is the smoothest revolver I have ever shot.

[@lovshooting]

The best production action YOU have ever handle

[@8wealthyone8]

What would you say is for hunting: sw500 or sw460v? thanks for good review. blesses Arek

[@morriszachrisson8359]

4:40 Nice and smooth trigger... Why is the recoil so aweful?

[@thenetwerx]

With proper technique, this gun is really fun and unless you are really on the frail side, shooting multiple cylinders is no problem.

[@scottperson9487]

What is a trigger pool? Ha! Great video.

[@Half_Squatt]

are there any .357 left handed revolvers?

[@willkschoenfeld94]

"bearly touch this thing" I had a giggle

[@1EVILZ06]

Nice

[@Johnniewalker78]

So H4T what would be your absolute #1 revolver?

[@humans4targets2]

Thanks bro, I no longer have the king cobra, it is nothing like a python so I got rid of that one.

[@ScottnMarieBFF]

Hey humans4targets2, which 500 do you like the best and why? I will buy one of these, both of which are at a local sporting goods store but I'm not sure which barrel size to get. Sights are always better farther apart on longer barrels but other than that, which might be better? Is recoil better or easier to handle on the heavier longer barrel?

[@05genim]

you did a great job with this video

[@Mihajil]

I'm really think about buyin one should i get the 8 inch or 4 to me the 4 looks better. what's your take ?

[@emello4you]

4 inch = Awesomeness

[@karimhkhan]

How would you compare the 4" SW500 to the Ruger Super RedHawk Alaskan?

[@shadowzr1]

I can imagine the recoil on this, I shot my .357 yesterday and my hand was aching for a while. How big a difference is the recoil compared to the .357 magnum?

[@blaketoomay8716]

shadowzr1 massive

[@sgtsomebody]

How much did you get this for?

[@jefferyboring4410]

Btw mine had ligh primer strikes on the hard large rifle primers I have to put a spent primer on the main spring tension screw

[@utubesgai]

tex, whyd you and the mama duckling get blasted by splosives?

[@huntingandfishing1079]

Nice gun

[@wapato17]

Are both 500 magnums yours

[@brinkbuilt101]

To the guy who said the 500 magnum is an under powered pistol cartridge. Are you serious? I dont want to be shot by a 22,380 this damn thing hits you in the leg or arm and you are hurtin

[@MrKano37]

How does the recoil compare between the two barrel lengths? Also, with the shorter barrel how much velocity do you loose vs the longer one in your video?

[@Gary4320]

I have a 500 and a 460. The 460 is far more versatile as it can fire several different cartridges. It also shoots much flatter. The 500 hits much harder with the heavy bullets so that would be a little better for dangerous game.

[@CZ530]

The 460 is not flatter. The 460 is not faster. The 460 is more versatile by far. www.chuckhawks.com/compared_460_500.htm Here is all the "real" numbers.

[@SuperDefender4]

King of PRODUCTION revolvers. The king of revolvers will go for 600 nitro

[@ZERO_42069]

Id love to get one with the 4 inch barrel

[@justintyme4690]

I'm about to buy the 10.2 inch performance center

[@Apophis392]

6:33 But what about the .50AE Desert Eagles?

[@ryanford8]

I have both, The 50AE is nice to shoot but if you want raw knockdown power, not much out there beats the 500S&W, its much more powerful than the 50AE if you look at the numbers....generated pressures, muzzle velocity, impact pressures. Unfortunately the price per round follows as well...lol

[@roninmidori1188]

How often do you shoot those two S&W 500's?

[@roninmidori1188]

Sweet.

[@rockinron4725]

I have two S&W 500 magnums (in 4" and 6.5" barrel lengths).

[@namename1]

Get more desert l6, taurus 500, glock50, ruger 480 ,barrett bmg

[@darlaevitts3459]

How does 8 3/8 compare to the 4 inch. ? I keep debating on it.

[@Conky88]

Get the longer barrel. Longer barrel gives the heavier bullet more room to spin. The 4 is cool but reduces so much potential. If you really want something great then get the 10" barrel.

[@humans4targets2]

Not at all, with speed loaders the revolvers can be reloaded in seconds.

[@doctorcoqui999]

I hope Colt comes up with a 500 🙈

I would like to purchase one, but really dont know which one to get. The 4 inch or 8 3/8. Which one do you prefer. Thanks

The 4 inch looks cooler and feels way better because it's not so front heavy

How are you able to pay for all these guns and tactical gear? I need your job. Lol

[@asaaqas]

I first read that as you had one with a fixed flux capacitor.....that would be awesome

[@fsirjyy147]

I like the the 4 inch better, just because I think it would be more practical. But lets be hounst most guys who buy this gun are probably going to go with the 6 inch because of how big the gun is.

[@Catgat37]

I'm getting the 10.5" lol

[@carlosaugustoabreuesilva5184]

What would be the queen of the pistols?

[@41-Rem-Magnum]

Of course The 500 is going to dwarf a .357 mag. snub. If you wanted to show the massive size of The 500 you should have compared it to a large caliber weapon most people can relate to, like The S&W 44. Mag. DX...with a 6 or 8 inch barrel

[@pooh40]

who can i buy one from? short

[@Theunion802]

Oh hey it's tex hey tex :D

[@PARR53]

To be fair you are comparing a J frame revolver to an X-Frame. Most .357s are K frame are larger and arguably your .357s that are made to take a lot of full house loads are L frames and even N Frames if you go real old school classic design. That revolver is much bigger and would not look that tiny in comparison but yes the .500 S&W MAG anyway you slice it is the largest most powerful production handgun in existence.

[@wilddancerxx]

all I have to say to you is 600 nitro express

[@felipereyes5286]

Wish I own the 500 magnum revolver so bad that's my dream gun if anybody has any information on where I could buy this gun please answer this post very interested if anybody has a used one willing to buy 2 but I don't want to know 350 or 250 or 500 grain bullets I want the 700 grain T Rex thumpers so please get in contact with me thanks

+Felipe reyes on this note, does anyone know where I can buy a glock 17? damn man, just go to your local gunstore or buy it online and pick it up at a local ffl dealer... that is if you are able to pass a federal background check and legally own a firearm. Posts like these just raise a whole bunch of red flags. It's not like these are rare guns.

[@rcsix3rd]

Felipe reyes Go buy this gun on buds, you can put a brand new one on a 90 day layaway.

[@kirkturner7092]

No disrespect but if you are asking these questions it is obvious you don’t know much about the shooting sports. This should not be your first weapon. Get a 22lr handgun first and learn how to shoot properly and safely. Next get a 357 revolver and learn it. Then decide if you still desire a 500 S&W magnum revolver.
