Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this head-turning double-action revolver today for a penny-start auction, this is the Smith & Wesson Performance Center 500!
The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 500 is a flagship revolver built to showcase the extreme power of the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge, one of the most powerful production handgun rounds in the world. Introduced in 2003, the Model 500 is built on Smith & Wesson’s massive X-Frame, which was specifically engineered to handle the tremendous pressure and recoil of the .500 Magnum. The Performance Center versions of this revolver take things a step further, offering hand-tuned actions, enhanced accuracy, and custom features that elevate them above standard production models.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 500 was born out of a bold collaboration between Smith & Wesson and Cor-Bon Ammunition in the early 2000s, aimed at developing the most powerful production revolver ever made. The result was the creation of the massive X-Frame, designed specifically to handle the newly developed .500 S&W Magnum cartridge—a round capable of delivering energy levels previously reserved for high-powered rifles. Smith & Wesson’s goal was to create a revolver that could take down any game animal in North America, and with the introduction of the Model 500 in 2003, they did just that. It redefined the limits of handgun performance and quickly earned a reputation as a go-to revolver for extreme handgun hunting and long-range power. The Performance Center version of the Model 500 takes the platform even further, incorporating custom-tuned internals, precision-fit components, and special features tailored to serious shooters.
