the S&W 460 mag comes in several barrel lengths. i am interested in the 5 inch and the 8 3/8 inch models. i want the 5 nch model but i am worried about Muzzle Velocity. if i get one i will be using it for hunting sometimes and want as much velocity as i can get. will the extra 3 3/8 inches make enough difference to make it worth it. i know it will make some difference but just how much.

Don't forget that the last inch on these barrels is a removable muzzle brake. You may want to call the ODNR to make sure that the shorter barrel is legal. Also, the sight radius of the longer barrel is easier to keep on target, if you don't plan on mounting optics.

I have the 5" and love it so much I'm thinking about getting one of the performance center models to keep it company.
