You did? Alright, sign a waiver and form a line to the right ;)

Maybe this will explain the yellow grip origin:

Might be kinda fun to put one of these together... colour coordinated light, blade, ... hardhat :D

Just need to find a cheep DeWalt kit at a pawnshop R:d:
 
With that barrel length, the .460 might be useful for its intended purpose, which is purported to be defense from wild animals. I like it, but didn't expect to because the other examples of X frame guns that I've seen have been so large that they are only useful for target shooting or hunting. While there is some common ground between hunting and animal defense, the optimal tools for each don't overlap much. The defensive handgun needs to be small enough to be portable, yet large enough to handle the pressure and recoil of powerful ammunition.

The proper choice of ammunition is not that which has the highest velocity or the most energy. The correct load has a bullet that will penetrate straight and deep, that will not fail or deflect from an angled hit on a massive bone, and leaves a large volume wound channel. Recoil must be manageable enough that fast follow up shots can be made without loosing much time attempting to reacquire the target. The fact that the gun is a 5 shooter rather than a 6 shooter is not cause for much concern, as the problem must be solved with the first couple of rounds.

The grips do cause me a bit of concern as often brightly colored inert guns (red, yellow, blue, orange, etc) are used for tactical training purposes, and I think that at this time a bright colored grip on a lethal firearm provides the wrong message. Besides, the gun is worn, so you don't have to go looking for it when the s**t hits the fan, which is the one scenario where a bright color might be beneficial.

Nice leather!
 
Nice rig!

I like the yellow grips, in the tent, in the dark, brighter is better. Lanyards are a good thing when you're sleeping in a tent in high risk areas. Especially if you are solo.
 
Nice rig, beautiful leather. Nothing like having an abundance of disposable income.
I love the 460V, so versatile with the 45Colt.454 Cassul/460 S&W combo.
The grips I'm luke warm on but thats just me, Any one do moonclips and tritium sights for these things yet?
IMO you spent your money very wisely, congrats
 
54.8 ounces unloaded, wow that is 3 1/2 pounds, close to 4 pounds loaded, that is one heavy beast. I am going to guess you are not going to see too many females pick one of these up let alone try and shoot them.
 
I carried a 44 mag for years, when I was surveying out of Grande Prairie, in the 80s. I had one of the only carry permits issued in those days. I always went cheap with the holster, but if I'd seen this rig, I might have been tempted to spend some big bucks. That looks very nice.

One question about the rig; does the strap tend to push the hammer into the cocked position?
