Reloader, the .460 with comp is very loud, despite what Gibby and others want to believe - and I have shot one quite a bit. For hunting, for me, it was just too loud - but I am leaning more and more to suppressors on semi-autos. Other than that, I really liked the .460. Plenty of power, and easy "conversion" from .45ACP. I never tried shooting .45 ACP in mine, because I had other pistols for that, and it isn't a good practice, anyway. Even though I would not choose a .460 Rowland for my type of hunting, it is a heck of a lot of fun to shoot! Although I enjoy semi-autos and have several, I prefer revolvers for hunting, sold my Rowland and bought a .480 Ruger SRH, and like it more as a hunting gun.

Still, I'd like to try a Desert Eagle .44 mag!
