Smith & Wesson M460V Double-Action Revolver
Smith & Wesson® M460V Double-Action Revolver offers great versatility for a wide spectrum of shooting situations. For hunting big game with a handgun, the M460V fires the 460 S&W magnum cartridge, capable of knocking down the largest species including brown bear and moose. Shooting 45 Colt cartridges in the M460V offers a milder recoiling cartridge for target practice, or the option of rapid fire for personal protection. The .454 Casull cartridge is great for hunting deer and black bear. The overall weight of the large frame S&W revolver and the compensated barrel tames the recoil with any of the 3 cartridges to an extremely manageable level. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, and low maintenance while wading trout streams in bear country, and a synthetic rubber grip provides a sure hold in any weather. The Smith & Wesson M460V Double-Action Revolver comes with 2 rear sights to allow shooters to make precision adjustments when sighting in with a specific load. Made in USA. Manufacturer model #: 163465.

Superior Quality Hunting RevolverThis Smith and Wesson Performance Center Revolver was made with the big game hunter in mind. Unlike other buyers, I purchased the 10.5 inch barrel model exclusively for hunting. I own a Colt Python .357 magnum and decided to put in back in the box in the safe and now use this .460 revolver for deer hunting. This revolver is a little more tame with the longer barrel and added weight when compared to the shorter barrel models. Out of the box, it hit 2 inch spinning targets and apples at 50 yards open sites and successfully harvested a nice buck at 110 yards open sites. I have only used Hornady ammo and see no need to change. However, as you would expect the .454 Casull rounds are much heavier and shoot slower and lower at longer distances than the smaller and much faster .460 Magnum rounds.

Deer fear me nowI got this gun with gift cards from my work. I had no real practical need for it, but the cool factor was a big draw. After shooting it the recoil was not terrible as I had previously feared. My wife even shot it easily. It is very LOUD so make sure you wear your hearing protection like you always should. I shortly after added a scope to the weapon and it’s extremely accurate with it installed. This thing is heavy but way easier to carry in the woods while looking for game than my rifle.

Love itI cannot describe the grandeur of loading and firing this mega Revolver. I've been reloading 350 grain bullets at various powder levels and it's a hoot to shoot. Powerful indeed, and I will mix it up with some 500 grainers very soon at low powder levels, and slowly increase them to my liking. It's my best shooting Revolver, and it's extremely accurate at 25 yards, even though I also shoot my 460 S&W 10.5" revolver which is my hunting revolver. I wanted the 500 Smith for a multitude of reasons for which only a gun nut can understand. Love it.

SatisfiedI bought this as a side arm to carry when hiking, fishing, or archery hunting in grizzly country. I wanted something a little more powerful than a .44 Mag. The ability to fire 3 different cartridges (.460 S&W, .454 Casull, .45 Long Colt) drove me to choose this gun over the S&W 500.
It's a bit bulky and heavy (61 oz empty), but that's to be expected. Recoil from 200 gr Hornady FTX and 275 gr Federal Vital-Shok .460 S&W loads was stout but manageable. The recoil was no worse than my Taurus 415 (.41 Mag) or S&W Model 69 (.44 Mag), which are both chambered in weaker calibers but are much lighter weight guns (30 and 37 oz empty, respectively). I plan to load it with heavy Buffalo Bore or Corbon .460 S&W rounds when carrying it in grizzly country. Recoil from 225 gr .45 LC loads was very mild.
It's quite accurate, and the rear sight can be easily adjusted for windage and elevation.

For the guy with the jam on his 460.As you wrote you shot .45 Colt and then .454 in the gun before shooting the longer 460 cartridge. The .45 Colt, for example, left a powder ring in the chamber depending on how many you shot and how dirty they were it can leave quite a thick ring in the chambers. When you finally got around to using the longest rounds the .460's the brass went passed where the rings were and then jammed the gun up. If you use shorter rounds either use them second or clean out the cylinder first before using the longer rounds in it and you will have no problems. This is long after his review and I just wanted other to know to use the longer rounds first or clean in between the shorter one and the longer ones. I bet money that is what the gunsmith told him when he went like he said he would. The gun is just great and I don't know if they mention this in the manual or not as I didn't read it. Happy Shooting and be safe, please. Make sure you know your gun and ammo first and not find out you shouldn't have done something and hurt yourself later. Sorry for boring most of you who already know this fact.

A must haveWhat can i say, it's big and powerful. The only real negative is the attention it draws at the shooting range, people will gather and in some cases pick up your spent casings.
The recoil is manageable, although shooting the Hornady 500gr magnum rds feel like a handful of firecrackers going off in your hand. Also I would recommend loading one rd at a time, until you get used to handling it.
Oh and after shooting the 500, all other rds will feel like a bb gun.

Actually easy to shoot.I bought mine a year ago and just love it. Shooting 45 colt helps getting the initial feel of this big revolver. The big frame helps with the 454 and 460 rounds a lot. It wasn't as wild as I thought it would be and has turned out to be my most accurate handgun. i will never sell this revolver!,
What are the different barrel lengths offered in the 460 magnum?

can you kill bear with this
Asked by: hunnter
Thank you for your question!
Smith and Wesson describes the .460 S&W magnum cartridge as being capable of "knocking down the largest species including brown bear and moose." You will still want to check your local laws and regulations to be sure you legally can hunt bear, and hunt it with a handgun, but Smith and Wesson indicates this revolver and its caliber are capable of doing the job.
I hope this information helps!
