I realize that the bear defense guns were not target revolvers, but I'm surprised to hear of accuracy problems at close distances. Could you tell whether the POI was high, low, left, right? And how far from the bullseye? Were you shooting 460 rounds or the softer .45 Colt that it also chambers?
Just wondering if there is something wrong with the barrel installation that could be corrected with a return trip to the factory.
If you don't like the barrel length regardless of the accuracy question, just ship it back to S&W to be rebarreled. They could tell you what barrel lengths are available and what the cost would be. (My 460 has the barrel that's a little over 8 inches long and has been quite accurate with any ammo I put through it, mostly .45 Colt and .454 Casull.)
