    Limited run? Limited to the 4 that people would actually buy.

    You would be surprised. The 4 inch models are all over youtube. Even more then the 6.5 or 8 and 3/8. It would be huge fun factor.

    I did have a 460 with the 5 inch bbl. Thats was pretty stout lol. May have to get another.

    4.2 inch would sell like hotcakes.

    I've shot one cylinder full with a 2.5" M29. It's an experience I would gladly try to forget! The cylinder catch tore a small chunk out of my thumb.
    Can't imagine a 4.2" 500!

    Both the 460 and 500 were available as 2.5" models in those orange and yellow "Emergency Kits" that S&W had a few years ago. If a 2.5" barrel is possible, then I don't see why 4.2" would be so far-fetched. Heck, even the 500 comes in a 3.5" model now. Personally, I'd like to see the 460 XVR, Performance Center edition (with non-fluted cylinder) come with a 4.2" barrel, instead of the 3.5" barrel.

    We have the same gun .. and for the same reason, only mine was through Chilcotin Guns in Williams Lake. Don't regret the extra $$ it cost over the regular version I was initially after one bit.

    I would love a 4.2 500!! i want bigger fireballs then my 6.5" 500 can offer, also not a fan of the half under lug. If i could find a range that would allow it i would love to duel wield 500's
