After having only two big bore revolvers for quite some time now I want another. I have a Smith & Wesson model 629 and a Taylor & Company Schofield model 3 Russian in .45 Colt. After having fired a few 500 magnums with ludicrous loads both out of the 3.5" and 6.5" I definitely liked the 3.5" more. I have not fired anything in 460S&W, but have experienced a Super Redhawk in .454 casull.
The reason I am curious is because I'm torn between spending a the extra couple hundred to get the performance center 3.5" or alternatively there is a used 5" 460XVR for sale not even 15 minutes from me at a reduced price. Either way it would be getting a diet of about 40-50% 45 colt due to it being a shared caliber I already carry for the schofield 40-50% 460S&W and maybe 10% .454 depending on availability of the namesake cartridge.
Price of ammunition is a nonissue and having 3 options is always nice.
So let me know what any of you that have them think!
