Function:

The hand is a critical timing component that engages the ratchet on the rear of the cylinder, rotating it as the hammer is cocked in both single-action and double-action operation. Proper hand function ensures each chamber aligns precisely with the barrel for safe, accurate firing. A worn or damaged hand can cause cylinder timing issues, skipped chambers, or dangerous misalignment - especially critical in powerful X Frame revolvers.

Compatibility:

Fits Smith & Wesson X Frame Model 460XVR (.460 S&W Magnum) and Model 500 (.500 S&W Magnum) revolvers. The X Frame is Smith & Wesson's largest revolver frame, designed specifically for these powerful magnum cartridges.

Installation Note:

Professional gunsmith installation required. Proper timing and fitting are critical for safe operation in these high-power revolvers. The hand must be correctly fitted to ensure proper cylinder rotation and lockup without binding or excessive play.

Authentic Smith & Wesson factory part - manufactured to exact OEM specifications and tolerances. Essential for restoring proper cylinder timing and rotation in your X Frame revolver.
