WTF S&W really?

[RipkinC]

Ok, I know someone has seen this before, however its new to me and I must say WTF
Was on the site looking at stuff for me and the lady when I checked what they had in the XL revolver frame list for giggles, and this popped up, I must say if you need a bipod on your handguns barrel its either too long or too heavy/your too weak.
So now on the the ultimate question, anyone own/shot one before? that break i bet pisses of others next to you

+1M....WTF

Talk about hand canon, this will be it.

 

[JSW]

I've fired the 460 it is actually very pleasant to shoot.

It bugs me that we insist on defending our right to keep and bear arms against those who would disarm us, but we run around happily pissing on other gun owner's parades because we wouldn't own some particular thing ourselves, or we just want to make cheap playground points. Would you criticize the shooter next to you for his choice of firearm/ammo/accessory to his face just because it's something you think he doesn't need or shouldn't ought to have? If you would, go pound sand.

I'm out of here for tonight.

Huh? The only thing he said was the break. I understood what he meant. I was sitting next to one guy who was shooting 500 with a muzzle break. I felt the blast and few powder residue. ??

I used to have a Miculek brake (similar to that one) on one of my ARs, and yeah, it pisses the guys next to you off. Especially in a class!

+1 on the 460 it was pretty damn cool and accurate. With a bipod and scope you can make some far shots.

Wimpy
I have never understood or liked the "chargers"

 

[Omega21]

what's the black "collar" in front of the brake? A black tie?

Needs more cowbell.

It is what it is. Don't think in terms of a revolver you carry in a holster, but think in terms of an XP100 , or T/C Encore, etc . Plenty of those that get carried w/ slings & use bipods.

Were I to partake of revolver that size I would probably prefer a really big bullet at normal vels , rather than a normal wt bullet at really high vels, but it's a free country. Just like we have room for longbow, recurves, compounds, and crossbows.

bipods are ok. you should be able to hit at 600yds with a 44mag. With a 460 mag you should be able to get to 800 yds. I guess the steading and magnification is the reason. I'm with S&W on this. I've tried to get a 44 to hit at 400yds and needed a shit load of bags and rests.

I can't tell you what you'd need to hit outside of 100yds, but a 460 would fukc up a black bear at 800 yds and in. So why not get a Thompson in .308 or more practical FAL, CETME or AR-10 and put anything down? A .308 kills anything.

I have the 12 inch version without the muzzle brake. Wow! that muzzle brake would create some pressure. It looks like a Miculek brake and the one I have on my little AR throws some gas. When I take my .460 to the range I warn people not to get to close and then the end up moving another bench or two after I shoot.

what's the black "collar" in front of the brake? A black tie?

It’s the front sight. The barrels on those are completed and the forcing cones polished to a mirror finish so it won’t erode, then the barrel is screwed into the frame, cylinder gap set and then locked into place with a jam nut kind of like a Savage 110. The front sight is banded and held with a screw.

It needs a magpul AFG

While it will slide on the rail. You don't want to put any part of you body forward of the cylinder.

LOL internet sarcasm.

I'm sure it would stir up a conversation or two. I'm not really into that kinda stuff but it looks cool.

 

[Schwabe]

nonsense ... propably even more effective if you hold it by the muzzle and use it like a club ...

 

[wilcam47]

I dont know if it would be practical for a .44 mag for 600yds? and 800 for a bear with a 460? i think thats beyond the capabilities of the pistol...i could be wrong...
