This gun is so nice. It is big and heavy which feels good in your hands. Just another great product from smith and wesson and buds got it to me fast and no hassle. Would definitely recommend this gun and buds guns to family and friends.

Very powerful revolver. I’ve already run 10 rounds on it since I bought it in 2016. Not my favorite plinking gun but it has the best trigger in my gun collections. I love it. 😊

Simple purchase and firearm arrived as advertised. This is my first purchase of a firearm with Buds and it will not be my last.

There's just something about .50 caliber weapons that elevate range days to a whole new level. Powerful, precise, and packs a monster punch, you won't forget shooting this hand cannon!

What can I say about this gun. Wow very fun, hard hitting gun. I've shot 2 deer with this pistol and they never knew what hit them. Very accurate pistol. I shoot open sights and as long as I have something to steady me. I can put up some very impressive groups. Only draw back I could maybe say is it's very heavy gun to pack. So definitely get you a holster.

Fast shipping and no problems with the gun for all these years. Best price even with the ffl transfer fee. The gun is a blast the shoot.

Well, this thing is a cannon lol. Fun to shoot and very accurate. Expensive to shoot but hey, this isnt a cheap hobby to have lol. But Smith & Wesson is an amazing company and always produces the highest quality firearms. It shows here with this one. So beautiful and just an amazing gun. Thank you Buds and its team for great service.

This is my first big bore revolver and i must say that i was very impressed. I fired it for the first time today and put 40 rounds downrange firing the Magtech 325gr light load cartridges and the recoil/muzzle flip was very manageable thanks to the compensator and weight of the barrel. It shoots accurately and the rubber grip actually feels quite comfortable considering the weight of the gun. Even with the light loads the 500 is still by no means a beginner's gun, however with proper training just about anyone can safely handle and shoot it. If you're into big bore stuff or revolvers in general and the price tag doesn't offend you, buy one... You will love it.

This review is long overdue, purchased July 10th 2018 . I've put around 20 rds thru the gun, but it is very accurate and the recoil isn't as bad as I thought it might be. The only problem I faced was bad ammo from armscor, had very good primer strikes but about a third of the ammo ftf. Buds was excellent, ordered on friday received on tuesday.

Most fun I’ve had since I bought my S&W model 29 many years ago. Typical S&W quality I’ve always come to expect. If you ever had the urge to get a 500...do it!

This is the 3rd of these that I’ve owned. They never disappoint.

I have not fired the magnum 500 yet but it looks excellent and the delivery service was good.

Ruger is a premier American gun maker, make no mistake. This revolver is an example of their engineering and craftmanship with handguns. Besides being beautiful, their "stupid tough". I was delighted with the fit, feel and workmanship that Ruger put into it. The trigger came set at about 4 lbs which is good enough for my purposes. It'll soon go to the range for sighting it. Dollar for dollar it's better out-of-the-box than some other domestic offerings. I'm proud to own it.

I can't say enough good things about Buds Gun Shop. My experience at Bud's is one of the best internet transactions I have done. I ordered a Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum 8 and 3/8 inch barrel and had it in my hands in 8 days. Very courteous-knowledgeable staff. Not to mention they also have the best prices on the internet. I won't hesitate to order from buds again. Thanks to all staff at Buds Gun Shop

This was my first order with Buds. Everything went very well. Shipping was very quick. This is a massive handgun. I have not had the chance to take it to the range yet. I am planning a black bear hunt next fall and will be using this handgun.
