The Magnum Research BFR (Biggest Finest Revolver) delivers unmatched versatility with its dual-caliber capability, chambering both .45 Colt and .410 gauge shotshells in a single platform. This single-action revolver bridges the gap between precision handgun shooting and close-range shotgun effectiveness.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional revolvers limited to a single caliber, the BFR's chamber dimensions accommodate both .45 Colt cartridges and .410 gauge shotshells without modification. The 7.5-inch ventilated rib barrel provides extended sight radius for improved accuracy while the rib design reduces barrel heating during extended shooting sessions. This dual-caliber design eliminates the need for multiple firearms when hunting small game or dealing with pest control situations.
Key Features
- Dual-caliber capability: .45 Colt and .410 gauge compatibility
- 7.5-inch ventilated rib barrel with extended sight radius
- 6-round cylinder capacity for sustained shooting
- Brushed stainless steel construction resists corrosion
- Black Hogue rubber grip provides secure handling in wet conditions
- Single-action trigger mechanism for consistent trigger pull
- Adjustable rear sight for precise shot placement
The BFR excels in hunting scenarios where shot versatility matters most. .45 Colt loads handle medium game at moderate ranges, while .410 shotshells prove effective on snakes, small game, and pest birds at close quarters. The stainless steel frame withstands harsh outdoor conditions without degradation, making it suitable for extended field use in various weather conditions.
