.460 Rowland (also referred to as .460 Row) is a pistol cartridge designed by Johnny Ray Rowland, with assistance from Starline Brass for the case design, and Clark Custom Guns for the development of specially prepared 1911 pistols capable of withstanding the new cartridge. It is an elongated .45 ACP case, with other dimensions similar, being a sort of ".45 ACP Magnum" in a certain way. The resulting cartridge is much more powerful than .45 ACP, developing energy out of a pistol that rivals in power with Magnum cartridges.

In the Mazes, it is one of the so-called rare calibers, ammunition for which no standard production firearms and no boxed ammunition exists, but for which certain Maze Customs services are available.

Note: Currently it is not possible to fire .45 ACP cartridges in .460 Rowland pistols (although it is still okay in revolvers), even though the designer himself, Johnny Rowland, has stated that it is perfectly safe to do so. More research on the matter is pending; it will likely be followed with an update if it turns out that it is possible and that doing so does not cause .460 pistols to function less than flawlessly.
