The .460 Rowland is a proprietary cartridge which attains true .44 Magnum level velocities when fired from a number of popular semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, and rifles.[citation needed] The cartridge was designed and developed by Mr. Johnny Ray Rowland, host of "The Shooting Show." After first developing the new cartridge, Mr. Rowland worked with Starline Brass to finalize commercial production of the brass and later with Clark Custom Guns to develop the first commercially available .460 Rowland Conversions for specific versions of the M1911. First production shipments of ammunition and conversions were made through these associations in 1998. [citation needed]

- The .460 Rowland is a lengthened cartridge based on the .45 ACP. It is more powerful than the .45 Super, and as such may be classified as a super magnum. The cartridge is 1.322 inches long, almost 1⁄16 inch longer than the .45 ACP. A revolver designed for the .460 Rowland can also fire .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, .45 Super, and .45 Winchester Magnum cartridges. With the exception of the .45 Auto Rim, all rounds require a moon clip for use in a revolver. The increased length is designed to prevent the cartridge from being chambered in a firearm that is not designed for its use.
