Buds Gun Shop is awesome. The ordering process was super and easy. The shipment was on time. My 500 is the greatest handgun that I own along with my 357 and 44 mag. Now I have the largest handgun in the world. I am looking for elephants all the time. Being in Mississippi I have to look real hard.

This revolver is a serious weapon for any dangerous situation where you need an absolut stopping power Handles and shoots very reliably and accurately with heavy bullets.

What can I say? This is the ultimate hand gun for hunting. Load it with some Underwood 700 grain hard cast lead bullets and your out there dropping big game. When I took this hand cannon to the range I had a crowd around me watching in awe. I loaded up some 700 grain lead bullet loads that I cast myself with the maximum powder charge of Winchester 296 flash bang powder and had a great time. Every time I fired it a big blue and yellow flame came out the muzzle of this big bad boy. Currently trying to decide what kind of scope to put on it. Then it's out to the woods to hunt some big game. Who knows? Maybe a 600 pound Black bear !

Purchased the SW 500 a little while ago and love it. Beautiful gun. Very powerful. Extremely accurate. I was apprehensive about shooting it the first time as many other reviewers have mentioned. Finally got to the range last week with it. It does have a pretty good kick but after you've shot a few rounds you get used to it. I shot both 300gr and 440gr. Both fun to shoot but the 300's are probably best for targets at the range. It's a bit expensive to shoot but Bud's has great prices and I was able to get my cost down to about $2 a round. Additionally Bud's was great though the entire process and the wait & shipping time was as advertised. I totally recommend this gun and will continue to use Bud's for future firearms purchases.

This is the undisputable mother of all revolvers. Heads turn whenever I take it out. Craftsmanship is flawless. Bud's price and service were excellent as always.

Fantastic shooter. Using 335 gr bullets with 37gr of Lil Gun, 200 OAL. Recoil is not drastic. You can shoot 100 rounds with no issues. (just reload to make it affordable)

well just to say this is a gaint pistol and with the 700 grain trex killers i bought and fired i think it could take a trex lol was not bad at all on recoil but the trex ammo had a little to it hold on tight and have some fun i added a bipod to the front sling hole that helped with weight it is steedy as a rock now will be a great hand gun for hunting season hope to have a nice scope on it before deer season comes in will not be useing the trex on them would be nothing left lol

Gun delivered within 9 days (a little slow) but came in factory box with all accessories. Customer service was excellent throughout. The gun was dirty, but that seems to be the case with all guns from S&W since they are factory fired but not cleaned. No marks, scratches, dings, etc. Just as advertised, and the price was unbeatable.

Excellent weapon; I could not be more happy. Revolver is a work of art. Good heft. Awaiting to go fire it.

This gun is great. It's the Performance Center version and it does not disappoint. The trigger pull is what you would expect from S&W. Feels good in your hand and it has enough weight to tame the recoil, the muzzle break and grips help with that too. Buds always has great deal on mostly everything on their site. If you are thinking about buying it. don't think too long because someone will snatch it up if you hesitate. Happy shooting. be safe and GOD bless.

Incredible firearm!! Sold the 8 3/8 version to get this one and glad I did!! It is less bulky and feels the same maybe a little lighter. Shoots like a dream!! Recoil isn't that bad the 130 lb fiancé shot it and loves it!!!! Buds excellent service as always!!

I call this my "Ridiculous" Gun. It is just that! The moment I opened the box I fell in love. Pictures can not do this hand cannon justice. S & W quality is there in very detail. Smooth, solid action, Crisp trigger. The heft of this gun makes shooting it off hand challenging but really nice to slow recoil. When this gun comes out be prepared for "everyone" that sees it to stop, smile and start asking questions. After the 1st few rounds I was hooked. $2.50 - $3.75 per trigger pull makes for an expensive range day or back country boom fest, but nothing will be more memorable or fun than trigger time with this Smith & Wesson Magnum. This Hand Gun is the "KING" of my collection. Rediculous, yes... Regrets, NEVER, NEVER, EVER!!!!! (BUDS is THE place to buy)

Nice big firearm. Pictures do it no justice, must see in person to see how big it realy is. I picked up the 500 only thing I found wrong was the cylinder release button screw was loose. My friend fixed it before I took possession of it. I also purchased a bipod and a Leupold scope for it. I then took it down to my cletchy pit to shoot. Only had time to shoot 5 - 350 grain rounds from HSM. I am impressed, hardly any kick. My short barrel 44 mag kits harder. The .500 with the full blown muzzle brake is nice. The gun is so heavy you need to shoot it from a rest. The gun did not rare up with the 350 grainers. I am going to reload my brass with Hornady 500 grain bullets. This will make a fine deer gun. PS. the scope was not bore sighted when I shot it, but apeared to be close from left to right, up down is off. I will have to sight it in. I shot several big holes through a old washing machine there in the pit. I will write another post about it in the future. Happy hunting. Also this gun is hard to find, if you want one, Bud will E-mail you when one comes available though your wish list. God Bless !!!!!

When you take this gun to the range, every one will stop as they will take out their cell phones and start taking pictures. This is "The Legend"...Greatest hand gun ever made.
