Why hasn't the 460 Rowland caught on better?

IMO, the best option were the excellent Dan Wesson revolvers chambered for it that were discontinued. Since CZ bought Dan Wesson they've made the unfortunate decision to stop revolver production altogether, and most recently, the fire at the DW plant has put an end to 1911 production as well, for the time being.

With the DW revolvers you could shoot any of the .45 auto pistol rounds. When it comes to the great hypothetical question of which handgun should I carry in Griz territory, the correct response is always, none. But, if you're gonna carry a handgun in Griz country for self protection, the DW in .460 Rowland made a lot of sense to me personally, and then you had all of the other practical shooting ability with the other cartridges which of course included the .45 ACP.
