Analysis

This revolver in the powerful .460 caliber offers a compelling option for hunters and enthusiasts seeking a robust handgun for large game or long-range precision. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering tight groupings even at extended distances, thanks to a well-balanced design and a crisp trigger pull averaging around 4 pounds in single action, though the double-action pull can feel somewhat heavy at over 10 pounds. The ergonomics are solid, with a grip that accommodates most hand sizes, though felt recoil is significant due to the potent cartridge, potentially challenging for less experienced shooters. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent performance under varied conditions. However, maintenance can be demanding, requiring diligent care to manage the wear from high-pressure rounds. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose difficulties, and the weight could deter some users from carrying it for extended periods.
