BFG

The BFG. No , it's not the ultimate in some action/horror video game. It the Biggest Finest Revolver from magnum research, but I think they have been bought out by kahr. I picked one up a few years ago and it really is a Blast to shoot. Mine is chambered in 45-70 gov, has a 10 inch barrel and weighs about 5 lbs. It's not really practical to carry around all day or for concealed carry or quick draw, but it would make a great hunting handgun ( or club). The cylinder alone weighs about a pound and rotates freely. Everything on this gun is high quality but it might just feel so because of it's incredible heft, but I don't think so. It's a super piece and it shoots on par with it's craftsmanship. You can't fire the really long 500 grain bullet in this pistol but most will fit in the cylinder just fine. I think they make shorter barrels for these now and think a 6 or 7 inch barrel would make it more accessible without much reduction in accuracy. Overall I'm really pleased with this pistol although I don't get to shoot it as often as I'd like. Anyone else have any experience with these? Idlike to hear about it. Thanks
