Smith & Wesson's Monster Magnum
Chambered for an all-new .50-caliber magnum cartridge, the new S&W Model 500 double-action revolver needs no hype.
Here is some :lovegunporn: for you to drool over

The Model 500 from Smith & Wessonis the biggest, heaviest, most powerful factory-production double-action revolver in the world. It's built on an entirely new and massive S&W frame size. It fires the new .500 S&W Magnum cartridge, which is the most powerful factory load ever developed specifically for handgun use. The gun and the cartridge are both impressive product accomplishments, beyond the industry norm, and both moved together from concept to reality in less than a year.
What a Gun
I would love to shoot one of these.

Here is the Shooting Times link to thier review of this Monster of a gun

Isn't this revelation about 10 years old?
Thanks for reminding me that it's out there, but I'll stick with S&W N frames.
