Smith & Wesson Model 500eS emergency Survival 163503 .500 S&W 2.75" Double Action Revolver & CaseOur Assessment: This grouping is simply too cool to put into words. If you own a bush aircraft or are planning a trip to Alaska, no better assembly of gear could be had to protect you and your loved ones in an emergency situation. The gear is pretty much unused, we do not see much evidence of the revolver being fired often outside of the factory. Please see our pictures and good luck.
