.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, being a sort of ".45 ACP Magnum", in a certain way, although with the same overall length as .45 ACP, allowing it to be loaded in the same magazines and in firearms of the same size.

.460 Rowland is notably much more powerful than .45 ACP, developing energy out of a pistol that rivals in power with Magnum cartridges, with recoil to match - the use of a muzzle brake or some other method to reduce recoil may be recommended.

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.

Safety disclaimer

Although many sources may state that shooting .45 ACP in a .460 Rowland pistol in real life is possible or safe, we do not recommend the practice. Both cartridges headspace on the case mouth, and knowing that .45 ACP has a shorter case than .460 Rowland, that means the only thing that will support a .45 ACP round in a .460 Rowland chamber is the extractor. Feeding issues have been experienced, as well as chamber fouling. For all of those reasons, .45 ACP may not be fired in .460 Rowland firearms in the game (with the explicit exception of revolvers).

Please exercise common sense, and observe all firearm safety rules when using firearms in real life. We decline all responsibility for the consequences of real life firearm misuse.
