Everybody should buy what they want....

and the S&W XVR isn't a bad gun ....but it is a "beast" to shoot.../ and expensive, like other response said above. I saw a box in a local store the other day of .460 S&W Mag ( 20 rds at $ 50 ) ...and .454 Casull was about the same price.../ of course if you reload, that will come down significantly ...

When it comes to heavy calibers like this ....460 S&W mag, .454 Casull, .475 Linebaugh, .500 Wyoming Express....etc....I think you're better off with a nice single action weapon ...like a Freedom Arms revolver.

None of the heavy calibers are inexpensive to shoot...unless you reload / but as long as you know that ....have some fun with it !
