The '''.500 S&W Magnum''' (also known as simply the '''.500 Magnum''') is a very large revolver caliber developed by '''Smith & Wesson''' and '''Cor-Bon'''. It is one of the largest and most powerful handgun cartridges, and is THE most powerful commercially produced handgun caliber.
+
.500 Magnum develops a tremendously high amount of energy at the muzzle of a revolver, being able to push a 400 grain projectile at well over 1750 ft/s (~533 m/s) out of a 8.75 inch barrel, thus developing muzzle energy approaching 3700 Joule (~2730 foot-pounds force). Such performance is in fact greater than many rifles, at the cost of also developing extreme recoil.
