Here’s the thing—this isn’t your everyday carry piece. The sheer size and power of the 460 S&W Magnum Black 8.37 in. place it in a specialized category. Its weight, a substantial 72 ounces, is a direct trade-off for controlling the massive energy it produces. The price point of $1016.49 reflects its niche role as a serious tool, not a plinker. It’s a purpose-built firearm for a specific type of shooting where standard calibers simply won’t cut it. This model ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Who This Revolver Is For
This revolver is designed for the hunter pursuing large, dangerous game at moderate distances where a rifle might be impractical. It’s also for the ballistic enthusiast who appreciates the engineering behind a cartridge that can push a 200-grain bullet over 2,300 feet per second. If your needs include long-range handgun hunting or you simply demand the maximum possible power from a production revolver, this is your tool. Budget-conscious buyers should note that while the upfront cost is significant, its triple-caliber capability offers long-term ammunition flexibility, letting you practice with more affordable .45 Colt.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched power and flat trajectory for a handgun. Incredible versatility with three-caliber compatibility. The long barrel provides a full powder burn and improves accuracy. The robust construction is built to last a lifetime of heavy use. It’s a true do-anything big-bore for North American game.
Cons: The size and weight make it strictly a field or range gun. Ammunition cost for the full-power .460 loads is very high. Recoil, even with the heavy frame, is punishing and requires practice to manage. It’s a significant investment for a firearm with a very specific use case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What ammunition can I safely shoot in this revolver?
A: You can safely fire .460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, and .45 Colt rounds. Always start with the lower-pressure .45 Colt to get accustomed to the platform before moving up to the more powerful, and more expensive, magnum loads.
Q: Is this suitable for handgun hunting in Missouri?
A: Absolutely. With proper shot placement, the .460 S&W Magnum is capable of ethically taking all game species in Missouri, including whitetail deer and feral hogs, at ranges far exceeding other handgun cartridges. Always check current Missouri Department of Conservation regulations.
Q: Can I mount an optic on this revolver?
A: Yes, the top strap is typically drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Many shooters opt for a low-power, long-eye-relief scope from brands like Leupold or Burris to take full advantage of the cartridge’s long-range potential. Mounting one is a straightforward process, often requiring no gunsmithing required.
