.500 Wyoming Express is a handgun cartridge that was specially developed by the company "Freedom Arms" for their "M83" revolver. The distinguishing feature of the .500 WE is the belt sleeve, which is rarely used in calibers for handguns . Reasons for using a belt sleeve arose from the design and manufacturing considerations of the developers.
