Key Features
Caliber Versatility
Chambered in .460 S&W Magnum, this revolver offers significant operational flexibility. It is fully capable of firing not only .460 S&W Magnum cartridges but also .454 Casull and .45 Colt ammunition. This multi-caliber compatibility allows operators to select appropriate power levels for various applications, from target practice to heavy hunting, without changing firearms.
Optimized Barrel Geometry
The 14-inch stainless steel barrel is a critical component for maximizing projectile velocity and energy transfer from the powerful .460 S&W Magnum cartridge. This extended barrel length contributes to an increased sight radius for enhanced accuracy and is typically factory-compensated or ported to mitigate recoil, facilitating faster follow-up shots and improved shooter control under sustained fire.
Robust Construction
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, including the frame, cylinder, and barrel, the 460 Hunter exhibits exceptional durability and resistance to environmental corrosion. This material selection ensures consistent performance and extended service life, even when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions.
Precision Sighting System
Equipped with adjustable sights, this revolver permits precise elevation and windage modifications to zero the firearm for various loads and distances. Furthermore, the 14-inch Hunter variant commonly integrates a Picatinny-style scope rail, allowing for direct mounting of optics to optimize long-range engagement capabilities.
