My 460V is a great revolver, could shoot it all day long with various calibers, the comp really helps taming the beast when shooting hot .460's. Granted it would be "fun" to shoot a cylinder full of hot .500 mag in a 4" barrel gun but I wouldn't shoot it all day!
By the way, the registered barrel length for my 460V is 106mm without the compensator so it's the shortest we can get and plenty 'o fun to boot!

Now your talking, I would be all over that and with a full under lug.
Already have a 454 with a 4.2 barrel and would really enjoy having something with a bit more jam.

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.
We have a 6.5" barrel S&W500, and that's plenty short for a 50 cal.
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.

Yup would be nice too.
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.
