The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 460 XVR delivers exceptional power and precision in the most demanding hunting and target shooting applications. This premium revolver chambers the potent 460 S&W Magnum cartridge while maintaining the versatility to fire 454 Casull and 45 Colt ammunition. The 10.5-inch barrel with integrated Picatinny rail system provides the platform length needed for maximum velocity and accessory mounting capabilities.
What Makes This Different
Performance Center engineering elevates this X-frame revolver beyond standard production models through enhanced metallurgy and precision manufacturing tolerances. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion while the compensated barrel system reduces felt recoil by up to 30% compared to uncompensated variants. Factory-installed muzzle brake channels gases upward to counteract muzzle rise, enabling faster follow-up shots with magnum-class cartridges.
