Smith & Wesson Model 460 .460 S&W Magnum

Description:
Smith & Wesson Model 460 is a large bore five-shot, single-action/double-action revolver by Smith & Wesson chambered for the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge. It was designed as a hunting and dangerous game defensive revolver for use in Africa and Alaska. The revolver is built on the company's largest and strongest frame, known as the X-Frame, and represents a joint effort between Smith & Wesson, Hornady, and Cor-Bon.The basic design of the Model 460 is based on the other X-frame revolver, its counterpart, the Smith & Wesson Model 500, a .50 caliber revolver. Aside from the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge, the revolver can chamber .454 Casull and .45 Colt ammunition. Smith & Wesson states that Model 460 XVR (XVR stands for X-treme Velocity Revolver) is the highest velocity production revolver, while being the most powerful .45 caliber production revolver in the world, launching a 200-grain (13-gram) bullet at 2,330 feet per second (710 meters per second), generating 2,416 foot-pounds force (3,276 joules) of muzzle energy. This revolver uses gain-twist rifling, starting with a slow twist rate of 1 turn in 100 in and gradually increasing up to 1 turn in 20 in to accommodate the combination of a heavy bullet and high pressure and velocity typical for the round. The S&W Model 460 won the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence Handgun of the year Award when it debuted in 2005. .460 S&W Magnum
