It gives you 44 mag performance out of what's basically a .45acp case on steroids. My standard 230grain Hornady XTP does 1300 fps from my 1911 conversion. It's a great round.

IIRC the heat treating wasn't done at the time that the 1917s were built, so the pressure of the 460 would blow the cylinder of a 1917 wide open, wouldn't it? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me...
