Smith & Wesson Model 460 XVR V 5-Inch .460 S&W Magnum Revolver – Satin Stainless, X-Frame, Ported Barrel
The Smith & Wesson Model 460 XVR V delivers big-bore performance from a compact 5-inch barrel. Built on the robust X-Frame and finished in satin stainless steel, this double-action/single-action revolver chambers the potent .460 S&W Magnum while also accepting .454 Casull and .45 Colt. Its two-piece, ported barrel with interchangeable compensator, gain-twist rifling, and unfluted five-shot cylinder make it a standout option for hunters and handgun enthusiasts who value versatility and raw power in a manageable package.

What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson blue plastic factory hard case
- Smith & Wesson Revolver Safety & Instruction Manual (modern style)
- Spare smooth-bore muzzle brake / compensator for 5" Model 460V barrel
The 5-inch two-piece barrel uses an interchangeable compensator system, letting the shooter switch between a ported brake for recoil reduction or a smooth-bore compensator when preferred. Ports at the muzzle direct gases upward to help tame the stout recoil of magnum loads.
Gain-twist rifling transitions from a 1:100-inch start to a 1:20-inch finish, promoting higher velocities and improved bullet stability. This design is unique to the Model 460 XVR family and supports the cartridge’s flat-shooting reputation.
The unfluted, five-shot cylinder is engineered for strength and finished to match the stainless frame. A smooth, combat-width trigger and exposed hammer provide a familiar double-action/single-action feel, while a hammer block and internal key lock add factory safety measures.
Iron sights include a red-ramp Patridge front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear, giving the shooter clear sight alignment for hunting or range work. Black Hogue Monogrip rubber stocks with finger grooves offer a secure hold and absorb recoil.
At 62.5 ounces unloaded and 11.25 inches overall, the Model 460 V balances power with portability—making it suitable for field carry without sacrificing the performance .460 shooters expect.
