Manufacturer details
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 Model S&W 500, the most powerful production revolver in the world. Performance Center guns originate from standard designs or are created from the ground up. From hand-cutting and fitting to fine tuning for precision, these firearms are top performers. Products from the Performance Center are the ultimate expression of old-world craftsmanship blended with modern technology.

A note on accuracy. We work hard to keep every listing correct, but specifications, images and compliance details come from many sources and can contain errors or change without notice. Images may show a configuration that is not California-legal. If a detail on this page matters to your decision, call us and we will confirm it against the actual firearm before you order. The compliance information here is general in nature and is not legal advice; California and local laws change, and the configuration described is confirmed at the time of sale. All sales are subject to applicable federal, state and local law and to the buyer's eligibility to purchase.
