Smith & Wesson 460XVR

About the Smith & Wesson 460XVR

The Smith & Wesson 460XVR is a extra-large revolver built on Smith & Wesson's X-frame, introduced in 2006. Chambered in .460 S&W Magnum with a 5-round cylinder. Constructed with a stainless steel frame and cylinder, this revolver offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability for years of reliable service. The 8.4-inch barrel provides a generous sight radius for enhanced accuracy, particularly suited for target shooting and hunting applications. The double-action/single-action trigger system allows both deliberate double-action shots and precise single-action fire when the hammer is manually cocked, providing versatility across different shooting scenarios. At 2070g (73.0 oz), this is a substantial revolver that uses its mass to tame recoil from powerful magnum loads, making extended range sessions more comfortable. Smith & Wesson has been producing X-frame revolvers for over two decades, continuously refining the platform with improved metallurgy, ergonomics, and manufacturing techniques while maintaining the fundamental reliability and accuracy that has made their double-action revolvers the benchmark against which all others are measured.

The X-frame platform has been in continuous production since 2003, making it one of the most refined and proven revolver designs in firearms history.
