As fun as it would be to shoot a .460mag Uber Super Duper Blackhawk, she just wouldn't fit. The standard super Blackhawk cylinder has a sidewall typically in the 1.70-1.71" ballpark, plus a 60thou headspace, then you could cut down the barrel tenon at the forcing come and gain about 200thou on cylinder length, so that'd only put you in the 1.97" coal tolerance, and the .460's a 2.3" round. So a guy would have to cut almost 4 tenths of an inch out of the frame window.
Maybe if they bring back the Maximum Blackhawk frame, then it'd probably work, and I'd be into it! The carpenter cylinder for this 454c model is spec'd to hold the pressure a 460 would generate, it's just too short to fit.
