Default 460 comp sleeve

Picking up a 460 in a few days, not a big fan of comps though. I understand S&W offered at one time a comp sleeve that would cover the holes. Does anyone know if there is anybody making these, a dummy comp, or have the dimensions so that I can have one made. Thanks

Thanks, I should probably shoot it first before deciding what is needed.

I have a 460, granted it is PC 12" that weighs 5 pounds, with no comp and really like it. Waited to find this one at the right price. The recoil impulse is far less, than say, a scandium frame .357. I agree with the OP and do not like the comps; I find the blast and noise is worse than any perceived recoil. I held the same opinion with high power magnum charge rifles that were comped; the recoil loss was replaced by a fierce gas/dust blast and artillery noise levels.

So how does one get a 460 or 500 without that bloody compensator or port system? I have seen the John Ross special and wonder if one can order a different barrel sleeve without the comp.
