Would someone please tell me what, besides the gun and lock key, is supposed to be in the case with an S&W M500 .50 cal. revolver?

Fired shell???
Instruction book???
little piece of paper saying "inspected by #309" ????
As long as the gun and key are there-anything else is lagniappe

If it is like the 460, there should be another compensator and an allen key for changing them...one is for lead bullets, the other for jacketed bullets.

Look under the foam things hide in there.

I think it depends on which model 500.

The original 8 3/8" barrelled model, has only one comp, and it is not removeable. It this case (Pun intended), Cajun is close, although add a front sight blade. (Came with two).

Other models with removeable comps, have 2 comps, but only one sight blade, as the sight is pinned.

One model 500, 4" also comes with a holster and ammo belt carrier.

Thanks for the responses. The last new S&W I purchased was in 1978. That said, I'm used to seeing a screwdriver (sight adjusting tool), cleaning rod, brush, and mop.

I would think that considering the length of the barrel (8-3/8) and the size of the bore S&W could have thrown in a rod and brush at least.
