This will depend on the 460 ammunition used Richard. Bullet weights range from 200gr to 360gr. 200gr bullets will average around 2300fps out of the 14" barrel and 360gr bullets will average 1900fps. Everything in between will average a linear velocity based on weight that will fall somewhere in between these two weight ranges. This is a "Powerful Pistol".
