The Model 460XVR is so revolutionary that it required an entirely different designation, (XVR) X-treme Velocity Revolver. Starting with their Extra Large Frame, the Smith & Wesson engineers worked to deliver maximum velocity - over 2,300 feet per second - to reach the target faster than ever before. The 460XVR has interchangeable compensators to accommodate every load. Plus, its "gain-twist" rifled barrel means superb long-range accuracy (beyond 200 yards) with every shot. The Performance Center firearm is the ultimate expression of old-world craftsmanship blended with modern technology. This model features a fluted barrel sling, integral top and bottom picatinny style base, forged hammer and trigger, traditional pinned sear, and internal lock. It also has a stainless steel frame and cylinder, a 12" barrel, removeable Patridge front sight, chrome hammer, chrome trigger with trigger stop, and PC Tuned Action.
