[QUOTE="tch.280, post: 239651, member: 13388"] First post and late to the game but having shot mostly revolvers all my life I would say a big NO to the 460 as a first handgun. I have a theory on handguns. Everyone should own at least a 22 rimfire and a 357 magnum. 22 are so simple, no reloading, easy to shoot and accurate, plus ammo is cheap. Lots of practice at targets and on live varmets or small game pays huge dividends when honing your skills. But if you can't stand the thought of starting out on a pop gun then get a 357. It can be loaded the full gamot from cowboy powder puff loads up to deer killers at the 50 and 75 yards you are talking about. Plus in a large revolver they are easy to shoot, recoil is very managable too. Relaoding is a dream and the components are less expensive than most other calibers too. Other than that you won't go wrong with the other choices, of 44, 45 colt, or a 41 mag. I have the 41 mag myself and love it Happy shooting Tim [/QUOTE]
