That is the great benefit of .460 S&W. The downside is that you have to lug around an enormous X-frame.

Agreed on the .480, it is truly a shame that it hasn't caught on. It really is a better and more practical cartridge than either X-frame chambering. For the Alaskan, there is very little a 425gr@1000fps won't handle.For protection, I would choose the Ruger Alaskan in 480 Ruger with loads around 1000 fps and a hard cast bullet.
Agreed. My Flat Top slides in the same holster as my Colt clone. Reasonably light and oh so handy with more than enough power.A properly loaded .44Spl also makes a wonderful woods packin' pistol. A 250gr at 950fps (Skeeter load) is all one usually needs.
Sure there are. You just have to make them. Easily made with playing cards #9 shot and a Classic Lee Loader. Oh yeah, Elmer's glue.but there are no shot shells made for the .41 mag unlike the .38 SPL.
I like the idea of the 480 Ruger, but I have never known a person in RL that owns one, nor have I ever seen one in person.
It is much more common then you would think, as I said my poor brother has been charged twice in the past five years, both times managed to get up a tree, another friend of mine was run up a tree recently too, seems pretty common around here though I myself have never been charged, but I don't often hunt the river bottom like they do.I'm fairly new to big bore revolvers, so bear with me. In the OP, he states he wants a handgun for hunting and hog protection. I think it's safe to say that having to protect oneself from a wiild hog attack is akin to winning a Power Ball Lotto
