Model Compatibility Chart

Fitment beyond the model listed above is not verified. If your revolver is not on this chart, contact us with your model and serial number before ordering.

Function

The strain screw threads into the bottom of the grip frame and bears against the mainspring. Turning it in raises spring tension for a heavier pull and more reliable ignition, and backing it out lightens the pull but can cause light primer strikes. Always test fire after any adjustment.

About the Model 500 X Frame

The Model 500 is chambered in .500 S&W Magnum and built on the X Frame, Smith & Wesson's largest revolver platform. X Frame parts do not interchange with N Frame or smaller frames, so always confirm X Frame fitment when ordering.

How to Identify Your S&W Model

Swing out the cylinder and check behind the yoke on the frame for the stamped model number. Model numbers began in 1957-58. Contact us with your serial number if you need help confirming fitment.

Installation Notes

• Gunsmith installation recommended for proper adjustment
