Probably get one in a cal that I wouldn't have to remove the foresight out of my forehead everytime I fired it��

Any chance you could get your rememberer to remember where that 460xvr is For Sale.

I've tracked down one but as always it would be better to have more options before I commit.

Yeah the 460xvr is the most powerful "45 Cal" Revolver.

I've fired the S&W 500 and it sure rocked ya socks and made you sit up and take notice as well.

It was either guns nz or gunsupplies Pete.

I rememberered thinking it is not surprising as you would have to be certifiable to want to buy one😆

Very Nice.

The only 460xvr that I know of in the country has a 8 3/8 barrel.

However they are available in Barrel lengths of 3.58, 5", 7", 8 3/8", 10.5", 12" and 14" with the 8 3/8 being the standard model that the velocity figures are quoted on.

Found it.

i think serious shooters had one for sale a while back I have the 460 and the 500 the 460 is way more enjoyable to shoot than the 500

If we were allowed to go handgun hunting then the the .44 Magnum is a perfect choice. Nothing in NZ will keep going after a well placed shot up to 100 metres, cheaper to buy the gun, cheaper to feed, and a lot more pleasant to shoot.

As the instigator and author of the original presentation that was made to the Police and NZ Pistol Assn many years ago, I am sadly dissapointed that it has not come to pass.

Oh lord, yes please!

I had a 44mag desert eagle you can have a lot of fun with them too.

@gundoc

Good on ya for giving it a go.

Someday it may happen.

PNZ doesn't represent All Pistol clubs and I personally know members of several non affiliated Pistol clubs as well as PNZ members that would love to legally hunt with a handgun.

After all if they are deemed to be Fit an proper to hold a "B" endorsement it surely follows that they will also likely be responsible Handgun Hunters.

In the meantime those 200m silhouettes should be afraid ....... very afraid.

@carlhurley

What loads do you prefer to shoot from your 460?

And what sort of accuracy are you getting?

Cheers
Pete

the one i like the best at the moment is some 415 grain cast bullets from the guy in tokoroa using 28 grains of 296 shoots preaty accurate are having a problem with a load that i loaded it is 240 grain xtp hornady winchester large pistol primers and 38 grains of belmont magnum pistol powder when it fires it is great but sometimes the primer will fire but the powder doesnt burn causing a squib fire it is the primers I asume but I loaded 50 and will probably have to pull them apart if anyone else has any suggestions they are the only two loads that I have used it is a nice gun to shoot a bit better than my 44

Hi Pete,
You and Carl should come to a sanctioned HMS shoot at the Tokoroa shooting complex held the third weekend every month winter series starts in June nothing like some serious competition
to improve your shooting stills

yes murray templeton keeps trying to get me to go over

I would love to be able to hunt with a handgun as well but I can see a lot of issues if it was allowed, especially on public land.
