The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is a five-shot, double-action revolver produced by Smith & Wesson, firing the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge.
It is built on S&W’s largest frame, the X-Frame. The manufacturer claims it is the “most powerful
production revolver in the world today”.The Pfeifer Zeliska .600 Nitro Express revolver is more powerful but it is not a “production” revolver. The Model 500 can fire a bullet weighing 350 gr ( 22.7 g; 0.8 oz) at 1975 feet per second (602 m/s) generating a muzzle energy of over 3,030 foot-pounds force (4.1 kJ).[citation needed]
Articles, statements, and opinions vary widely on this firearm. Any of the available bullet weights can be relied on to take game at a range in excess of 200 yards (183 m), a feat matched by only a handful of other handguns.[citation needed] The advanced design of the firearm helps in counteracting recoil felt by the shooter. This includes the sheer weight of the firearm, use of rubber grips, the forward balance, and the use of a compensator. On certain S&W Performance Center models the compensator is replaced with a full muzzle brake.
Like most big caliber handguns the Model 500 is suitable for sport and hunting applications. The high energy of these rounds make it possible to hunt extremely large African game successfully.
Like any gun, proper supervision is required for novice shooters; however, due to the extremely high recoil, novice shooters should be especially coached while shooting this gun.

The business of food will always be profitable when it’s approached the right way. Fresh ingredients and friendly service are often enough to set a successful diner apart from the run of the mill. Of course, no traditional diner would be complete without some classic décor. Antique bar stools, a steel counter and a chalk board for listing the day’s specials are basic diner essentials.
Bare walls would never do in a cozy restaurant, and that’s where diner signs become indispensable. Some old-fashioned signs advertise products from a bygone age. Others simply provide a gentle reminder about the wholesome food that awaits eager patrons. Either way, retro signs add an extra element of ambiance to the classic diner experience.
