Went to the range the other day for the "maiden voyage" of my S&W .460 XVR (8 3/8"). Was happy to have the place to myself, as I didn't know what to expect of myself or the gun. Zeroed in a few at 25 yds ( the Hornady 200grs at ~2300fps, which is all I could find/afford locally!) Recoil is certainly noticeable, NOT unpleasant but rather exhilirating (I'm a big guy and I love this stuff!) What the heck, set up the 100yd target. Now I was truly disappointed to be at the range by myself, as my first attempt netted a three-shot 1 1/2" group about two inches wide right and a half inch high. Hey, maybe this is routine stuff for some of you guys, but to achieve that at 100yds with open sights...hey, I was EXCITED. I love this gun already, and thanks to Redhawk1 for consistently singing the praise of this piece!!!
