The 500 Auto Max AR500 in a pistol version lacks nothing the rifle version has except length, making it ideal for SWAT officers, tactical and security professionals in and out of vehicles or as a personal defense weapon.
Built using lightweight black anodized aluminum with a 10-inch nitrated barrel, full length Picatinny rail and pistol brace, the new AR500 packs a punch yet felt recoil is similar to a .308.
The 500 Auto Max was developed by Big Horn Armory using a 500 S&W rimless straight walled casing with the same ballistics. It is capable of feeding and firing any .500 diameter bullet between 200 and 700 grains. The AR500 has an adjustable gas block to allow the user to run sub sonic loads using a suppressor. 500 Auto Max ammunition is currently shipping from Buffalo Bore and Underwood Ammo. It is also available at Midway USA.
For law enforcement, military or private security use, the AR500 pistol is perfect for vehicle carry or as a powerful breaching weapon capable of clearing any obstruction, including bullet proof glass.
