I had the pleasure of shooting a .460 Rowland one time. Note that I said "once". It will deafen you through earplugs, and will set nearly everything within 2ft. of you on fire. Recoil is manageable however (thanks to the compensator!) it IS noticeable.
You need a forged frame; cast frames are no-go's, because they tend to rip apart under such stress. It'll batter & start cracking within short order... so unless you have a forged frame gun, I would NOT do it. On top of that, you have to hang that ugly-freakin'-compensator off the end of the slide to increase lock-time.
It's a really cool caliber, and gives you some KICKASS performance... but it's expensive, and it batters frames all to hell.
Sometimes you just have to Cowboy Up.
