I doubt very much S&W will ever come out with a 454. When you look at N frames, a number of forum members have stated that they will shoot loose relatively quickly with sustained hot and heavy loads, so a 454 in an N frame won't do. So S&W skipped past the beefier Redhawk frame Ruger makes and went straight to the X frame so they could surpass everything with the 500 and 460 mags.460shooter thanks for the reply. If S&W would come out with a dedicated casull revolver I'd get that instead. But, nice to be able to shoot .460 if I want to since they don't. I love Ruger firearms, but I just don't feel their double action revolvers like I do S&W. Although I do like their GP100 as a exception.
lol just watched the dirty Harry movies back to back the other night, times have changed that big .44 just isn't the biggest out there anymore lol.
If you're going to shoot any of the 45 Colt family cartridges, you should seriously consider loading your own if you don't already. All three cartridges are pretty expensive in factory liadings. They're still expensive if you load, but not as bad. It would also give you the ability to develop 45 Colt and 454 loads that your gun does shoot accurately.
