The Galco Switchback (brand part no. SR84B) is an outside-the-waistband belt slide holster sized for the Smith & Wesson X-Frame 500 with a 4-inch barrel, built as a general-purpose hybrid that combines leather and synthetic materials. Galco engineered the Switchback to be fully ambidextrous, so it carries equally well in the strongside or crossdraw position, an important feature on a revolver as large as the 500.
