These grips give great control and have beautiful wood.

Pro Ears Gold Electronic ear muffs, I wear them all the time while hunting with the 460. You will damage your hearing with 1 shot from a 460 without hearing protection.

460 S&W

With the 460 you can shoot the 454 and 45lc. In the raging judge you can shoot the 454, 45lc and the 410.

Can you also shoot the 410 in the 460?

Been looking at getting a 460, really like the ability to step up in calibers from 45LC, 454, and 460 Mag. The 460V has been discontinued with the 5" barrel, looked like a nice size. Still, I don't have any experience with something as powerful as a 460, closest is a Desert Eagle 50 AE.

I don't want to go too short and cut back on range and have extreme recoil. Looking for something not too nose heavy and can be maybe shoulder holstered. What do you guys think between the 5", 8.375", 10", etc.?

Actually the 5" .460 S&W Magnum is readily available from Bud's Gun Shop. I HIGHLY recommend the .460 5" for general carry. It can shoot the .45 LC, .454 Casull, and .460 S&W Magnum. With a TK Customs cylinder conversion is can also shoot .45 ACP, .45 Win Mag, or ANY .45 caliber round that has the same base diameter!

Even the 8.5" .460 is a marvelous revolver! BUY ONE WHILE YOU CAN!

No. The cylinder in the 460V is not long enough for the 410 shells. I saw an illustration of this but I cannot find it right now.

l just got a 460 PC.. 10 1/2'' barrel w/brake...l just love the thing.. Mounted a 4x Leupold and its scary accurate...l thought about shooting 45LC in it but l just hate shooting short shells in long cylinders...l overcame this by using Trail Boss powder and Speer 250gr swc lead bullets...Trail Boss load launches those lead swc Speers at about 1000fps...Speer Manual 14 has some great ''reduced recoil'' loads for the 460 SW..These loads will yield up to 1700fps for 250-260.. lf you handload you will love that 460 even more
