This week, we're taking a look at the Model 460XVR, from Smith & Wesson. A big-bore revolver designed for the serious handgun hunter, the 460XVR is chambered in .460 S&W Magnum, but can also handle .45 Colt, and .454 Casull, making it quite a versatile option. As far as optics go, the pistol not only sports a fiber optic front sight and rear bracket, but boasts an integral scope base topside.

Chiappa has flipped the script on wheelguns quite literally, aligning the barrel with the bottommost chamber of the cylinder, rather than the top. This low bore axis makes the gun recoil directly back into the hand, rather than pulling the muzzle up and away from your grip. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.
The trend these days is to “go long” but the truth is, if you’re doing it right, most shots taken by hunters are anything but long range. You’re better off practicing your short game.
