Why not just shoot 45 Colt in your 460? It would help you shoot that revolver more without the recoil of the 460 S&W.

I thought about 45LC, have not tried it yet, Kindda think it would be silly out of such a heavy gun. Shot .454 out of it and there was a little recoil, but nothing compared to the 300gn XTP with 42gn of h110 out of a compensated 4” barrel. Fireball and concussion and heat!Why not just shoot 45 Colt in your 460? It would help you shoot that revolver more without the recoil of the 460 S&W.

The Kimber is a Classy Gun! It would be ashamed to hide it in your pant waistline.That gun needs to be seenI’d say a 3 inch barrel in a Kimber K6 or a Ruger SP101 would be good choices for concealed carry guns that can pack a 357 punch for the woods.
.460 is not just recoil, it’s the blast and concussion.
As I get older I have found that revolvers in .357 or larger are uncomfortable for me to shoot.
I have not bought factory ammo in a decade…. well take that back, bought some 9mm FMJ about 5 years ago and Shotshell, and .22lr.The next question you should ask yourself is can I find/afford the ammo for the revolver I buy.
As I get older I have found that revolvers in .357 or larger are uncomfortable for me to shoot. .38 SP+P through a 3" Ruger LCRx is about the max load I can handle now. You might throw a LCRx into the mix for consideration. I bought mine to carry but never have been able to find a decent OWB holster for it but I'm picky about holsters.
oooh yeah, your from Washington, you know about all the critters here that wants to eat you got supper. Did you hear about the mountain lion that ate the biker a few years ago, was in North Cascade too? his biking buddy just left him there to be eaten. Now if they were packing heat, they could have done something.I think the model 69 is a decent choice especially with 44 special hand loads. I kinda want a 4” myself for that purpose, but I’m more of a rural Washington fella so it may be a little much in the city. While My first revolver/handgun wasn’t a 460 hand cannon it was a 6.5 41 magnum blackhawk, which took some getting used to. Sometimes I still have to focus on just letting the gun roll in my hand and not try and fight it(perks of a single action I suppose)I can often shoot better one handed when I’m in the proper frame of mind.
all that said unless your headed to the north cascades where the grizzlies are 357 is a good way to go for a good all around cartridge.I’m not personally interested in barrels much shorter that 4” myself.
So many guns so little money… I’ll start with a S&W .22LR and learn to shoot DA, then I’ll go from their. I have plenty of carry guns for the streets of Seattle and I’ll carry my 1 shot .460 noise maker for the woodsLots of great options laid out so far. What about a Model 10 or Model 64. Go with the heavy barrel for either model.
38 Spl in a fixed sight 4 inch is a gun that you would probably never part with. A very do all type of revolver that every American should own. Big enough to handle stout +p loads but still concealable.
I did hear about that, spooky stuff. Just looked it up again and it happened near Snoqualmie. The article said the person that got away saw the cat dragging the other person into the bushes as they rode off. YIKES! That’s the stuff of nightmares. Not sure I would have left my friend behind ( I believe the victim was a woman) but i wasn’t there. Horrible stuff. Sure glad these kind of things are as rare as they are.oooh yeah, your from Washington, you know about all the critters here that wants to eat you got supper.

Must have been a painful, those cats will eat you alive!
Thanks! my flinch us horrible with that gun! I don’t have mych friends or range time, so I’ll just start over with a .22lr DAIf you're flinching and suffer from muzzle blast, you're already damaged goods, pal.
You need to cure that flinch first.
Rent a good steel frame .38 Spl with 4" or 6" barrel.
Take a spotter with you to load some of the chambers.
Double up with plugs and muffs.
Snapping on the empty chambers will show you and your spotter what you need to work on.
Repeat!
When you've got that problem licked, then go shopping.
If what you want a large bore, .44 Spls and .45 Colts in steel frames can be downright pussycats and are concealable if you have a physique to handle the bulk and weight---but don't even go there until that flinch is a cooked goose
I’ve been guilty of it too! I did a 12 mile hike around Mt. Rainer, with only a HK VP70 9mm (only think I had time to grab) and darkness caught up with us…. talk about SCARED!“Biker”? I had to look that up. I think the word is Bicyclist or Cyclist. Anyway, people are nuts for going out like that without some type of protection. That happened the Spring before I left Oregon.
That beats a Swiss Army knife and a tire pump.I’ve been guilty of it too! I did a 12 mile hike around Mt. Rainer, with only a HK VP70 9mm (only think I had time to grab) and darkness caught up with us…. talk about SCARED!
Now yer talkin'!I was looking at the SW 586-8 I really like the blue and wood look on a gun
A .22 is good, but it's not good to dry fire them. The advantage of a .38 is that you can leave a chamber unloaded---that is what makes your flinching evident.Thanks! my flinch us horrible with that gun! I don’t have mych friends or range time, so I’ll just start over with a .22lr DA
