What I am getting at is the 500es wasn't a limited run, it was made for 3 years and they only had demand for LESS than 500 and the resale price dropped dramatically after issue. That's why it is sooooo collectable now.
Here are the numbers from S&W
500es started production April 2006 ended production March 2009
LESS THAN 500 MADE IN TOTAL. just paid $2875.00 for one on GunBroker.
Spoke with Blue Book of Gun Values they are not listed because they were not in the S&W catalog will be listed next year. They are...
I know they quit making them
I think I bought the last Yellow one they had because the week after i bought it I couldn't buy anymore. Have it still sitting in its nice unopened container
I just spoke with S&W about the 500es
produced from April 2006 to March 2009 less than 500 made total
April 3rd 2017 paid $2875.00 GunBroker mine was made Nov. 2007
