2003 the gunsmiths and engineers at Smith & Wesson wanted to
deliver maximum power for serious handgun hunters. The power they sought
required an entirely new frame, the massive “X-Frame™,” and was the
basis for the new Model S&W 500™, the most powerful production
revolver in the world.  Performance Center guns originate from standard
designs or are created from the ground up. From hand-cutting and fitting
to fine tuning for precision, these firearms are top performers.
Products from the Performance Center are the ultimate expression of
old-world craftsmanship blended with modern technology.
