I kinda can't wait to see the self-inflicted injuries with that thing. The recoil/kick must be intense.
How many people are going to break their nose or otherwise smack their face with this thing? :biggrin:

[yes, I know a good shooter can handle the recoil. I'm referencing all those videos of people who do not fit that bill.]

[poofyhairguy]

I hope it comes with a racist bullet like the original!

the handle is made to absorb the shock. i need this, because of reasons.

 

[iRONic]

OP can't even lift it to the 'extend' shooting position...

 

[coxmaster]

Thats not even big.. Its smaller than the S&W 500 magnum..

It makes sense. As people become larger, you need a stronger gun to combat them. With how many hippos we have running around the US already, a tiny .38 special isn't going to cut it when one charges you over their territorial instinct to protect the buffet from intruders.

I think my 1911 will be okay for another 20 or so years before I have to "upgrade".

My favorites are the videos of people shooting rifles, looking through scopes, but not securing the butt of the gun against their shoulder.

Clint Eastwood in the 1973 film 'Dirty Harry', brandishing his infamous Smith & Wesson .375 calibre hand gun

:hmm:

 

[JManInPhoenix]

I cant stop laughing at this post lol

:hmm:

Silly brits. I'd still take a hand cannon over this monstrocity.

 

[sixone]

I want one. :drool:

But not for $1,200.

 

[Kadarin]

How about one of these?

I have one with the long 8.38" barrel, and it's hilarious to shoot it at the local indoor range. It's considerably louder than a .44 magnum revolver.

 

[Zenmervolt]

:hmm:

Not only did they confuse the .44 Magnum with the .357 Magnum, they managed to throw in a typo for good measure. Have to love the Daily Mail.

[skyking]

That .375 is no typo, it is the slightly smaller version of the all-powerful .380

Different though

Smith and Wesson boasts that the .460 S&W is the highest velocity revolver cartridge in the world, firing bullets at 2330 ft/s. With Buffalo Bore's new loading, the .460 S&W can achieve nearly 2900 ft-lb of energy by driving a 360 grain bullet at 1900 ft/s.[3] For comparison .500 S&W Magnum offers slightly more energy at the muzzle, driving a 350 grain bullet at 1975 ft/s for a total of 3031 ft-lb.[4]

 

[sdifox]

shit you can kill someone by throwing the bullet at them.

Reminds me of McBain, who can't avenge his partner's death with a pea shooter.

Also, I have to say, nothing is sexier than a revolver with a solid cylinder. My father has a .357 with one and boy it is sexy. It looks similar to a Colt Anaconda, but a bit smaller and with a smooth cylinder and a more square-ish barrel.

Different though

Yes, very different. I own both a 500 S&W and a .460 XVR, and the XVR is by far the most verisitile of the two. I have even considered selling the .500 because of the two, I only ever shoot the .460 anymore.

It can shoot .45 Long Colt, .454 Casull, and of course the .460 S&W. With .45 Long colt, the recoil is actually quite tame for that big X-Frame, and is quite fun to shoot. The .454 Casulls hurt the most though, especially with hot landloads.

I would love to have one of these performance center handguns in the OP though, that looks awesome.

Whats the attraction of this new gun over the huge S&W .50?
