Oh, got one of these in today too.
S&W .460 Survival Kit. I thought there would be some candy bars in the box, but so far, no joy.

Whoa, I bet that’s a handful !!
if the bullet don’t get’em, the muzzle blast should act as a deterrent.

You'll never hear about me owning a firearm of any kind with yellow grips. That's only one rung above pink grips.
Yea Right. You want it sooooo bad. You know you do, and if Walmart sold them, you would have three of them new in the box.

You will be amazed how well that will do, good luck with it.

Both colors are good for finding the gun in the pile of bear poo.

You got my attention when you mentioned candy bars! 😁

Not a big fan of the yellow but I also have an Alaskan with black grips that I love and I would at least like to try shooting that yellow gun! Ricci I'll bet it does very well as others have said good luck!

Bet that hasn't been shot more than a couple times.

who cares about the color of the grips ? 5 minutes or less and they can be changed

What's the recoil like on that 460 S&W? Gotta be brutal! I've got an old model Blackhawk in 41 mag (6" BBL?) that is about as much gun as I want to shoot. How would the 460 compare to that?

I have no idea as I have never fired one. I will say that in my opinion that revolver with a longer barrel and a good piece of glass mounted is the best hunting handgun ever built. Well some of the T.C.'s are pretty good too.

I shot a 4" 460, and while it was a handful, it wasn't bad for a defense gun. That being said after three cylinder loads I was pretty much done having fun.

Believe it or not, it is not that bad at all. Not as bad as shooting full blown 44 mags out a Ruger Blackhawk with standard grips, imo.

I've shot one I didn't think it was too bad recoil was but there is always the option to down loading to 454 casull or 45 colt

We did alot of work for a chemical company just outside of Chicago. In a conversation one day with one of their engineers he told me they had produced a chemical that would hold back any bear. The gov't wouldn't approve it however as it contained some chemical they wouldn't approve, for whatever that means.

I agree the yellow grips are to help locate it when dropped into the snow.
However . . . . I don't think that will work for me.
If a bear is attacking me and I drop this in the snow at my feet, I will not be able to find it since the snow at my feet will have turned yellow by then.

Looks like their Dewalt version. Tom

I'll bet that if a bear was about to turn you into lunch, you wouldn't even think about the color of the grips.

I have often times said that if your situation is so bad that shooting that thing makes it better, you are screwed.

I think the whole concept of Bear Spray is the roaring sound. It sounds like a big ole pissed off boar bear.
I had 3 brown bears under my deck a couple summers ago. Apparently someone had overfilled the bird feeders over the winter (rolling my eyes) and there was a ton of seed on the ground. The bears were licking it up, having the time of their lives.
I tried everything to chase them off. I threw rocks, I threw 2x4s, I shot the 9mm at their feet and gravel flew up in their faces, and they didn't even do me the courtesy of flinching or looking at me.
Out of ideas, I tried bear spray. I opened the door and stepped out 5 feet away from them, went RAAAHHHHRRRRRR really loud, and gave them a big blast of spray. They immediately looked at me, then turned and started to scoot up the hill away from the deck. Sensing victory, I ran after them to keep them moving... and ran right through my cloud of bear spray.
Ten thousand wasps instantly stung my eyes and a thousand pound weight fell on my chest. I remember staggering around the yard clawing at my eyes, my throat clamping shut from the spray, my ears roaring and I was blind, couldn't breathe and there were 3 very pissed off brown bears right there somewhere with me. Above all the ruckus I could hear my wife inside the house tapping on the glass offering her advice... "don't do that!"
My son came out and grabbed me, pulled me inside the door, and we decided enough was enough. They could HAVE the damn birdseed.
I wonder... if I had that cute yellow gun instead, would they have run off? Naaaahhhhhhhh. They have a completely different rule book than ours.

Don't you just love the wife's advice at certain times😆

I often wonder if she had her hands on her hips. Of course I couldn't see anything to tell.
