New Addition to the Large Caliber Family

[whbonney26]

Well I already have the S&W 500 Performance Center with 8.5 barrel and the S&W 460 with the 8" barrel, and the Ruger Super Redhawk in 454. Now it was time to add the S&W 460V with the 5" barrel.

Nice gun.
Keep your fingers away from the gap in front of the cylinder.

Yep. I seen what it can possibly do first hand......my uncle shot my 500 and took off a piece of his thumb nail. He was holding his hand under the gun in a way that was just totally wrong. I tried to tell him not to do it but he fired. I was worried about him dropping my gun.....didnt expect him to tear up his finger.

Trust me when I say....My fingers go no where near that front gap. You have to have a pretty funky hold on it for that to happen.

Here's one of a guy that did it with a 460VR

I have the XVR like that one but would never attempt a grip like that. My uncle's finger was not that bad but it did take off some of the nail. He was holding it across the hood of the truck with more of a hold like you would prop up a rifle.

HAHA. I have a shoulder holster for it and a strong side holster for it.

I'm impressed

I am hoping to add a big bore caliber to my handgun line up. If you had to pick just one, which caliber would it be?

Showoff

Very nice piece of shooting iron you got there.

460 cause you can shoot 45Colt, 454, 460 and even 45 Schofield in the gun.

Most bang for your buck.

Do you own any auto loaders? I only see you with revos. I'm kinda headin that way myself. I still have more fun with revos and lever rifles than anything else.

Dont forget the .480 Ruger

Actually yes. I have a few such as the 1911, XD9, and a few Glocks. Revolvers are good hunting pistols though and Lever guns are the love of my life. lol

My carry gun will prob. always be a Glock. Ruger LCR as my back up most of the time.

Dont forget the .480 Ruger

Dont make me!!!!!

I have been looking at that one but I think it will be a while. I have some other things in line now that I want.
