I saved for along time to buy the revolver it was S&W's Preformance Center model & I had nothing but headaches with it would skip timing & they screws on the side of the yoke would loosen all of the time so I contacted S&W & they said they would send me some extra screws $1,199 gun & it wasn't worth a hoot it wouldn't shoot my reloads or factory ammo either with out messing up I wound up taking a loss on it but I learned a lesson the 500 S&W is too much for a handgun IMHO
