I hope it is as heavy as the 500 guns are. I've shot a .454 Casull in Ruger, and it's the only gun ever to split my grip when I fired it. I shot a 500 two weeks back, and I kept that one down remarkably well. My word is that the 500s are more manageable than the 454. The trouble is, I already have a lot of 45 Colt around.

I don't know if anyone else had the same experiences. I hope the range gets one in to rent so I can try this new 460.

Just read your post to my husband. He states the .480 Ruger is even worse that the .454 Casull (similar to the contrast between a .38 special vs. a .357 magnum).

I've got a Ruger 454; use a batting glove and it works perfectly.

A lady at my pistol/rifle range has a Ruger .454 Casull, and it has some kick! I'll stick with my Redhawk, that's enough "mule" for me!
