Smith & Wesson 500 Emergency Lede

Custom and Collectable Firearms’ has debuted its Smith & Wesson 500 “Emergency Kit,” a limited-edition revolver built to turn heads and stand ready in a crunch. With only 150 sequentially numbered pieces, the Emergency Kit’s Smith & Wesson 500 frame comes dressed in a Black Cerakote finish, engraved with high-polish stainless claw marks on one side and a bear on the other. High-polish controls accent the engraving, while hunter-orange rubber grips add a touch of rugged style. It’s a piece that’s as visually commanding as it is functionally formidable.

Each kit comes outfitted with essentials for the unexpected: an orange hard case featuring a grizzly design; practical tools such as a Humvee compass; a Boker fixed-blade knife with an orange handle; and a fire starter. And for those who appreciate the finer details, the kit is accompanied by a Custom and Collectable Firearms challenge coin, a series-detailed postcard, and a certificate of authenticity signed by CNC's owner.
