Can you change the barrel on a S&W 500?
As for the legality of replacing a . 500 S&W barrel with a new, longer, barrel; absolutely! There is never a problem making a barrel longer as long as you’re not adding a rifle stock to it (that’s a whole ‘nother thing…). Any good gunsmith that does barrel work can replace the barrel with a longer factory barrel.

A longer barrel usually provides better accuracy and higher bullet velocity (and energy). Also a longer sight radius if iron sights are used. A long barrel revolver will have more accuracy for a farther distance and less recoil then a short barrel revolver.
Is a 4 barrel too long for concealed carry?
Compact firearms are usually about a 4” barrel. Most concealed carry holders will recommend a sub-compact, those are also the most popular firearms to carry every day. At roughly 3” in barrel length and a lot of options for single stack (making your gun thinner) these are a great option for a comfortable all day carry.

How long does a pistol barrel last?
Most barrels will last 30–50,000 rounds or more before accuracy begins to suffer. A steel frame will last virtually indefinitely. A quality alloy frame should last easily beyond 100,000 rounds, I’d say a good polymer frame like a Glock should last even longer than that.

During your .22 revolver shopping, you’ll probably come across some revolvers chambered in .22 Magnum. Keep in mind that this is not the same thing as .22LR and that they are NOT interchangeable. Some revolvers come with a cylinder for both calibers so that is an option if you are interested in shooting both.
