.500 S&W Special

With a ballistic equivalence near that of the .50 Action Express, the .500S&W Special cartridge offers the advantage of more manageable recoil when fired from a .500S&W Magnum revolver.  Additionally, if greater concealment/faster employment is the concern, a revolver manufactured to fire the .500S&W Special cartridge as a maximum could be manufactured for this purpose.

The ability of this cartridge, from a handgun, to stop an unarmored target should leave little room for doubt.
