you really can't add the other 2 calibers down the road

as you mentioned. The 500 S&W is a stretch frame revolver, while the other 2 cartridges are standard frame revolvers. You can't put a standard size cylinder in a stretch frame and expect any accuracy.

Now that most everybody has had their say I would recommend the 500 Linebaugh or the 510 GNR. Either will do anything the 500 S&W will do and do it in a smaller more compact package plus you can easily add extra cylinders in other calibers. Extra cylinders are not as "convenient" as one would think. Every time you change cylinders you have to re-sight the gun in which is a pain for most and expensive in the waste of ammo. If you want to stay with the .500 caliber, the 500 GNR or 501 GNR will do anything the other 2 you mentioned.

It is your ballgame but going with the 500 S&W is very limiting in what you can do with it. A round that lives in a standard frame revolver is much more user friendly.
