Design and Build

The BFR is designed from the ground up as a magnum-class revolver, echoing Magnum Research’s performance-focused approach. The 10-inch precision grade barrel increases sight radius and stabilizes bullet trajectory, enhancing accuracy for both lead and jacketed projectiles. The full stainless construction and silver finish provide corrosion resistance and a durable, easy-to-maintain surface for field use.

Optics and Ergonomics

Included Weaver scope mount allows shooters to attach optics for precise shot placement—critical when working at extended handgun ranges. Hogue rubber grips absorb recoil and present a secure hold for rapid follow-up shots, making the revolver practical for hunters or defenders who require confidence-inspiring ergonomics.

For shooters prioritizing one-shot effectiveness and controlled expansion, the .360 Buckhammer in a stable, accurate platform like the BFR is a logical option.
