Magnum Research BFR Revolver .460 S&W Magnum
The Magnum Research BFR (Big Frame Revolver) is the largest single-action production revolver made in the United States. The .460 S&W Magnum version is built around a 7.5″ stainless steel barrel and a 5-round cylinder cut for one of the highest-pressure handgun cartridges available. The frame, cylinder and barrel are fully stainless and stress-relieved for repeated big-bore use, making the BFR a serious choice for handgun hunting, silhouette shooting, and back-country carry.
All-Stainless Construction
The frame, top strap, cylinder and barrel are CNC-machined from 17-4 PH stainless steel and heat-treated to handle the .460 S&W Magnum’s 65,000 PSI pressure ceiling. The matte stainless finish resists corrosion in harsh environments and ages cleanly without bluing wear.
7.5″ Barrel and Adjustable Sights
The 7.5″ barrel balances velocity, sight radius and field carry. The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation; the front sight is a high-visibility blade. The grip frame is sized for a controllable hold under heavy recoil.
Built in the USA
The BFR series is assembled and finished in Pillager, Minnesota by Magnum Research. Each revolver is hand-fitted, function-tested, and shipped with the factory warranty.
