S&W Model 460 XVR 8.38" .460 S&W Revolver

A: This revolver with porting is slightly less in the recoil department than a standard 454 Casull which is a hammer in and of itself Talbert. As far as loudness, lets just say never fire with out ample hearing protection!

A: Hi Talbert, It will be loud. The recoil is like a 357. The long barrel though will help with the recoil.Here's a great Video on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec8vYqHZdL0

A: It'll be above 130 decibels. And if you don't hold onto it firmly, the end of the barrel will smack you in the forehead when fired.

A: double hearing protection and you need to direct the recoil not fight it plus the dollar cost of each shot is high the recoil will depend a lot on the loads you use some are "tame" and some are 'hot'

A: I don't personally own one but hickok45 who Buds sponsors puts this through its paces here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec8vYqHZdL0

A: I will not own one due to the cost of shooting it. I had a ruger 480 and got rid of it for the same reasons also most indoor ranges will not let you shoot it. I have much more fun shooting other guns Now if I was going to Alaska yes I would own and carry one

A: double hearing protection plugs and headset

A: I would go with these -https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/714014797/PELTOR+RANGEGUARD+HEARING+PROTECTION ----VIDEO -- youtube.com/watch?
