Key Features
- 10-inch Brushed Stainless Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: That extra length gives you maximum velocity from .460 S&W Magnum loads, turning a defensive round into a barrier-busting powerhouse. It also tames recoil, so follow-up shots stay on target.
- Five-Shot Cylinder – WHY IT MATTERS: With a cylinder thick enough to handle the .460’s pressure, you get five rounds of absolute authority. No need for more when each hit counts.
- Weaver Scope Mount Included (Drilled and Tapped) – WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount a red dot or low-power scope without gunsmithing. This turns the BFR into a precision tool for hunting or home defense at longer distances.
- Adjustable Rear Sight with Fixed Front – WHY IT MATTERS: Dial in your zero for different loads—whether you’re shooting .460, .454 Casull, or .45 Colt. The fixed front stays tough for urban carry.
- Black Rubber Grip – WHY IT MATTERS: Absorbs the heavy recoil of magnum loads while keeping your hand locked in place. No slipping when it counts.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the city dweller who demands maximum stopping power in a package that can handle anything. If you live in an apartment and want a handgun that can punch through barriers or stop a vehicle, the BFR is your answer. It’s also for the hunter who wants a single-action revolver that doubles as a long-range defensive tool.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Heavy barrel tames recoil; accepts .454 Casull and .45 Colt for practice; Weaver mount makes optics easy; stainless finish resists rust in humid city environments.
- Cons: At 4.6 lbs and 10 inches long, it’s not a pocket carry gun—this is a holster or range bag revolver. The single-action trigger requires manual cocking for each shot, which may slow follow-ups under stress.

FAQ
Can I shoot .454 Casull or .45 Colt in this revolver?
Yes. Per Magnum Research specs, the BFR .460 S&W Magnum safely chambers and fires .454 Casull and .45 Colt ammunition. The cylinder is built to handle the .460’s pressure, so lower-pressure rounds work fine, but always check the barrel and cylinder for compatibility.
What optics can I mount with the included Weaver scope mount?
Any optic with a Weaver-style base—red dots, low-power scopes, or reflex sights. Popular choices include Vortex Viper, Holosun 507C, or Leupold DeltaPoint Pro with a Weaver adapter. The mount is drilled and tapped, so installation is straightforward.
Is this revolver legal in all 50 states?
Yes, the BFR .460 S&W Magnum 10″ 5-Shot Stainless is a non-NFA, non-restricted firearm in all 50 states. It ships to your FFL dealer. Check local laws for magazine capacity restrictions—this revolver holds 5 rounds, which is legal everywhere.
How does the 10-inch barrel affect recoil?
The 10-inch barrel adds weight and length, which reduces felt recoil compared to shorter barrels. You’ll still feel the .460’s punch, but the extra mass helps keep the muzzle from rising excessively. It’s manageable for most shooters after a few rounds.
Can I use this for home defense?
Yes, but with caveats. The .460 S&W Magnum produces massive overpenetration—it can go through walls and still have energy. In an apartment, pair it with frangible or soft-point ammunition designed for self-defense. The 10-inch barrel is long for quick maneuvering, but the revolver’s reliability and power make it a valid option for those who train with it.
