FYI & FWIW:

Shooting the Most Powerful Revolver on Earth - Smith & Wesson 460 XVR

If you are a dedicated handgun hunter and want a wheel gun capable of taking any animal in North America, this one is right up your alley.

Suspect most of these will go to the range maybe once, and then remain in the back of a gun safe!

Different strokes for different folks but IMHO if my 45LC can't handle it I'm going for my 45-70. I do have a 454 Casull in the safe but usually just run hot Colts through it.

Even when much younger, I never found the need for anything bigger than 45Colt......... I bought and sold 44 Mags back in the day but never shot one of them. Finally bought an OM FT 44mag, will keep this one, but only shoot gentle loads (we're both beyond the 'biggest Gorilla in the jungle" stage).....

Here is my grandson, 26 at that time, shooting a S & W .460 XVR 8 3/8" barrel last summer.

Traded my 460 XVR for a Ruger compact Magnum in 338 RCM that came with dies, bullets and brass. I have not missed that Revolver, it was the most annoying thing I have ever shot. It was a very accurate gun, could kill anything for sure, but the muzzle blast and concussion just didn't make it fun.
Love the little RCM so much I bought another one when my youngest boy decided he fell in love with it.
