I have shot one with a 5 inch barrel---it is stout as to recoil but it is not overbearing--considerable more however than the 44 mag or anything else in that category..

Of the larger commercially loaded handguns for hunting--you have chosen one of the best.. read an aricle where the author put on a scope and had taken more than one elk with it--one shot kills actually a bit over 200 yards..or about 184 meters for you...

Good luck and let us know how it works out..

What are you going to use it for??

I owned the 460 with the 8 3/4" barrel. It was crazy accurate, but it was a bit to much for me on the recoil. It was without a doubt the most accurate handgun I've ever shot at longer distances. I'm not a handgun hunter, but if I was, the S&W 460 would be my only choice. You will have no problem taking game out to 200 yards with the 460. Good Luck with your new gun!!!

I own a .500 S&W that I took a 2,000 lb old giraffe back in 2006. Worked a treat. Your .460 ought to do anything up to a Maserati Quatraporte with no trouble.
