Well, there is .50 Action Express
That's only 33mm long
.500 S&W is 57mm long
I didn't say that it couldn't be done. The recoil operation is very finicky with larger cartridge lengths. The recoil spring for a semi auto would have to be huge to run those rounds. The magazine would also be huge resulting in a very large grip. The only reason why AR and AK pistols work is that the magazine is forward of the grip.

You just said revolver cartridges. It's as long as the 44 and 357.
