I love my Ruger's but every Super Redhawk, with the exception of the Alaskan, looks like a drunk plumber decided to lengthen the barrel of his gun. Aweful, horrible, hideous...no offense to you all that own one.
I like big bore revolvers, I'd love to have a S&W 460V just because you can shoot .460's, .454 Casull and .45 Colt. If Ruger came out with a .454 Casull Redhawk I might forego the S&W460V for the sake of the much less expensive Redhawk but, so far, Ruger hasn't thought to do so. Another reason for the .460S&W over the .480 Ruger is that from what I've read the .460 has better "user appeal", in other words, the .480 didn't go over very well compared to the .460. Weak sales and not being able to compete with the .460S&W has pretty much killed the .480Ruger, I predict it's not going to survive especially since there's only one gun available in that caliber that I know of. At this point I don't think I would buy a .480 Ruger unless you reload that caliber.
