Chris Cheng's Book Vs S&W .460 XVR

Chris Cheng take a look at the S&W .460 XVR revolver. It has a 12″ barrel and if an optic is mounted it is recommended to be zeroed at 200 yards.
Chris tests the .460 XVR against a cantaloupe and a watermelon before he tests it against a stack of hard bound copies of his book “Shoot To Win”.
I was surprised how much damage the round did to the books.

I still find a handgun rather improbable for shooting anything at 200 yards.
I'm sure the revolver and cartridge under discussion can do such things; I doubt many shooters can. Other than being 'first on the block', a light rifle would probably be superior for most 200 yard purposes.
Other than that, I'm sure the arm and the video are most impressive.
When is S&W or an aftermarket going to produce a man-sized grip for it? I know there are plenty of grips that will fit it but it would be nice to have a grip similar to the one it comes on it, only bigger so that someone with big hands can get more purchase.
