I wish I were rich, instead of good looking! I want one.

At 4,595.0123538 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle I would have to say that is slightly overkill for anything in north america except maybe an angry grizzly sow charging but With the price of it and ammo I will never get the chance to fire one.  Looks awesome though.

O.K., there must be at least 34 of us who will put up $500 each for this animal.  We can share it amongst us and have it for a whole week every eight months or so.

Who else is in?

ps:  How would we ship this thing around to each other?  Any idea on where we would get the ammo?

I beg to differ on the pistol term used, I would say a true hand cannon

WOW! When is enuff enuff? I suppose it is in our human nature to "go where no man has gone b4". I bought my 460 XVR from a friend and when we took it out for the test fire, the weight and Hogue grips were such that I had little aprehension b4 popping one off. Now with a scope mounted, it ain't too bad at all, about like a 300gr .44 mag. Best part about a .460 over .500 is you can use .454 Casulls or .45 long colt for softened recoil. Smith and Wesson did their homework on these and really are ergonomical despite their SIZE.
Heck, my daughter put 3 cylinders through it. Of course she was raised with a 629 S&W .44 mag. After 15 shots, she looked at her hand and said "is that the grips or a bruise already?"
makes daddy so proud.....
Maybe after 5 or so years I'll be ready to upgrade to that .700 Nitro... more, bigger, gooder!
Chain a 100# anvil to that suka and it won't be so bad

I think I gotta agree with Superflux...

Think I'll stick to the .44 mag. My super redhawk does what I need it to do.

That's not a pistol, it's a hand cannon. ;-)

That thing would break every bone in my hand and gash my forehead to boot. How much are they again?

last time I checked, the largest caliber bullet that didn't require an NFA stamp was .50 if it was built/designed after 1898. I would sure like to know if that's changed.
