Based on what I recently paid for a S&W PC1911 compared to it's MSRP, I'd say this new gun should be around $875.

i was wanting a .500 and will have the money next week, now i think i will wait for this. seems a dandy idea and one that would fill many high powered revolver niches. bet the waiting list will be weeeks long until SnW catches up

It will also fire .45 Colt and .454 Cassull.
I like it. I could never afford it, but I like it.

Don't get me wrong, I think this new "460" may have it's place (and I may "need" one too), but one way I think they are getting the 2300 fps is with not-available-to-the-rest-of-us-yet 200-grain Hornady SST bullets - relatively light with a good ballistic coefficient. I'm anxious to get a batch to load up for 7 1/2" .454 SBH and run through chrono.
Heck, Cor-Bon already offers a .454 Casull 265-grainer at 1800 fps. Give them (or me and Chaz
) access to the latest and greatest pointy-polymer-tipped .452 projectiles from the bullet gurus, then possibly "hello 2,000 fps" from a poor boy's exisiting (and 20 ounce lighter) Ruger?

I would not do it with my Ruger 454. I am getting the 460S&W. My 2 500MAG's need a little brother. Brass Balls

The list is $1253. Click on the photo of the .460 I posted above to see the S&W website.
Hornady and Cor-Bon are both making ammo for this gun for starters. However I wouldn't expect to see any on the shelves until the gun is close to being released.

I wonder how fast these can be driven once handloaders get more time with it.

Been quietly getting more info on this - and seems to me this will optimize the X frame. I enjoy my .454 thru SRH and equally enjoy 45-70 thru BFR ... but gotta say, despite the frightening price tag .... this could be another cannon I may have to get - despite having told myself I am sufficiently cannon-equipped already!!
