POTD: The Smith & Wesson 500 Emergency Kit

Only 150 people will be able to save themselves with this Smith & Wesson 500 Emergency Kit, as that’s the maximum amount that will be made. The revolver comes with a black Cerakote frame, adorned with high-polish stainless claw marks on one side and a bear engraving on the other. Polished controls complement the design, paired with hunter-orange rubber grips to make sure you can keep the grip for follow-up shots. I’m not sure about the motifs, but it’s a good-looking revolver for our Photo Of The Day.

Each kit is equipped for the wild and unpredictable, housed in an orange hard case with a grizzly print. It includes essential tools like a Humvee compass, a Böker fixed-blade knife with an orange handle, and a fire starter.

The price is $2,899.99 and you can find it here: https://www.cncfirearms.com/product-page/smith-wesson-500-emergency-kit-500-s-w-magnum


The only thing I’m missing in the Emergency Kit is some orange earplugs, but in case of a real emergency, protecting the hearing is perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind.

    That black and silver is a good looking color combination. Not a fan of the orange grip but I get that's a throwback to the original 500ES.
