I shot the s/w 500 when they first came out. Nice gun, but with the porting, you better wear ear protection !!!!!!!!! But the 460 xvr is one mean bugger. It's got better balistics than the 500. If your shooting the heavy loads, the 500 is tamer than the 460. I was gonna buy the 460 and got to test it first. OUCH !!!! I got R/A in my hands and wrists and for the next three days I couldn't move them. Needless to say, I'm not going to buy a gun and take a butt whooping every time I shoot it. Anywhoooo, they're some awesome hand cannons.

I had the oppertunity to go to a S&W shoot and shot the 500 & 460 in the standard and performance mdls along with the little alaskin! They are a handfull but i liked and plan on buying the 460 performance center ballistics are awsome! The shorty version alaskin is a real wrist twister but a heck of a backup gun for dangerous game!

I own a S&W 500 and I love it. Heck my 16 yr old nephew loves to shoot. But it will make your ears ring BIG time
