500 S&W Revolver FAQ
What is a 500 S&W revolver used for?
Hunting large and dangerous game at handgun ranges, and backcountry defense where big animals live. For deer-size game, a 44 Magnum is plenty and far easier to shoot.
Are there lighter loads for practice?
Yes. Several makers offer reduced 500 S&W loads, and some shooters practice with 500 S&W Special, a shorter round that fits the same chamber.
