I have one of these beautiful beasts in 45-70 with a 10 inch barrel. They're not exaggerating about the quality either. It is solid, smooth and finely finished. Best revolver I own by far.
Lets shake hands
Just got a .500 Magnum BFR. Cant wait to shoot it!
A machine like this could bring Law & Order back to Minneapolis
Hahahahaha! you ain't kiddin
@@exothermal.sprocket kmlklk.
The Magnum Research BFR short cylinder is a rough copy of the Freedom Arms model 83 field grade.
The first Freedom Arms model 83 came into production in Freedom Wyoming in 1983.
I own a Freedom Arms Premier Grade model 83 in 454 Casull with accessory cylinders in 45 Colt, 45 Winchester Magnum and 45 Automatic. Now this a an excellent made revolver.
Hi Alexa.
Hello to the folks at Magnum Research.
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love my BFR, in 45-70.
10 inch barrel.
It was my first handgun purchase.
It is a magnificent piece of machining.
By this point in time, I have polished it so much, it has a mirror finish.
In 5 years I have put everything I can get my meathooks on through it.
I work in a firearms store, so I have my choice of ammunition.
Including some pretty incredible handloads.
Modern Marlin loads included....no signs of over pressure.
300 grain up to 540 grain hand cast.
I have never experienced anything other than joy while I've owned it.
As a mechanic, heavy duty, automotive, commercial transport,and, machinist, I compliment you folks on this piece of hardware.
I have purchased several handguns since, but, this is still my favorite.
From Tokarev to Rugers.
Black powder Pietta.
.44 magnum Super Redhawk.
My B.F.R, is my favorite.
I wanted a T.C. in .45-70 so I could match my rifles.
Upon stating my wishes to the owner of the store, who is now my boss, suggested you product.
I jumped on that instantly. ...
A decision I have never, in any way regretted.
It never fails to elicit comments of wonderment and awe at the range.
I let anyone that wants to, fire it.
This gains more comments.
Thank you folks once again...
A diehard fan, here in Canada.
Joe...
That’s awesome man! Glad your loving your BFR!
Howdy, Joe. Liked every Joe I've met. Great bio and description. I'm seriously considering getting one based on your recommendation. Good luck!
Absolutely beautiful, and the guns are very nice too!
A BFR is definitely my dream firearm. Looks like such a great design. Classic, but modern.
Can't wait to pick mine up. It finally shipped!
Again thank you these videos are glorious.
500 Linebaugh 5.5 from the factory. Noticeably beefier frame than Ruger SBH and RH. Smooth trigger pull, very accurate and recoil is manageable. Light enough to carry on my hip cross draw all day. No fear of grizz, mountain lion or Sasquatch. Love it.
I have the BFR in 500 S&W Magnum! This thing is a Cannon!
Wow that's a big f@#$ing revolver, good job Kahr!
Do you make a 45 90 Winchester black powder cartridge. And for a backup can I shoot 4570 init give me a contact. I want a gun like a fence bull strog horse high and pig tight.
Single action design is useful for bigger powerful calibers because the simpler action is more durable, plus you don't risk double shots that happen under intense recoil like with a double action. Not to mention the ability to have every shot be as precisely placed as possible, because of the finely tuned trigger.
Ok. However you can treat a double like a single simply by cocking the hammer. Same behavior.
@@thomaspeters5889 even with cocking it back, the mainspring is still light enough on a double to go back twice by the extra recoil. It's a real risk with the big caliber double actions.
Love your guns. And this vid. Thanks for sharing! T.
I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk. These look so fine, and big.
They are so beautiful!
I was going to buy a second ROA,but price point made me decide to get a 10" BFR in 45-70.I plan on mostly plinking with Black Powder loads,from 192 grn collar buttons,to 350 grn cast.Very similar to my Walkers for powder capacity and gun weight,but able to throw much bigger lead,more comfortable to shoot,and residue is confined to barrel and cylinder,not thrown into the lock and hammer mechanisms like cap-fired BP revolvers,so cleanup should be much easier.
Thanks for making a great US made revolver at a working man's price point!
besides the model 29, .44 for me...absolute best looking revolvers on the market. :D
I meet Alexa score in Instagram before this video and we become a friend she's a cancer survivor with strong and rich heart miss you girl
I enjoyed watching this video thank you
I like to see them make a Schofield one day.
I own a 45-70 and a 22 hornet BFR
I love them both.
now *THAT,* is a handgun! 🤩
I absolutely love my 45/70 BFR. It's the first big revolver I've owned. I was looking for a 500 smith and wesson when they showed me the BFR, I had to have it. I left the gun dealer and ended up driving back that day to pick it up. My only wish is I could've got the fluted cylinder and barrel. After owning the 10" barrel i now want to have a custom short barrel 45/70 built in the future. Also love to look of the 45lc/410 with the vent rib on the barrel.. Great video and keep up the great work.
Wow. Beautiful weapons. I want one. But I gotta say- they're not the only extremely well put together thang in the video...
my thoughts exactly
Minnesotans doing what God put 'em on Earth to do!
Cowgirl gets her gun ! Impressive....
Impressive beautiful " American Style " congratulations thanks regards ,bye
I have a 500mag and a 4570 mag both with 10" barrels. I wanted a 450 cylinder for my 4570 because of the lever action rifles I own. I have a couple 4570 rifles and I wanted pistols to match. But im retired an can't afford the 450 cylinder now. I love the pistols very much.
I've had my BFR in 45/70 for years with north of 1000 rounds down the pipe. It is absolutely the most accurate handgun I have ever owned bar none! I've shot squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, skunks, fox, and deer, one shot and done!
The Bigger Iron
This was awesome, glad you let Edwin share it. Is this going to broadcast anywhere?
so cool
The 45-70 BFR reams out to 458 Win Mag. ✨
When I think of Revolvers I tend to think of Dirty Harry and the Model 29.
Nice!
Wow nice .high tech revolver gun making. .
Not much recoil on the 30-30. Beautiful revolvers.
Que bonitos revolveres, ya había visto esa marca, son muy caros..!! La fábrica en si es chica,; pero tienen muy buena maquinaría..!! Son armas finas y están muy bien hechas ..!! Me gustaron mucho, a mí me fascinan las armas muy grandes..!! Saludos a todos los que están involucrados en la manufactura de esas hermosas armas..!!
I’ve been saving for a freedom arms revolver for some time. Thank god I found these before because I’m just really wanting a 475 linebaugh without having to spend 3k+.
I don't lown a BFR but I DO own two Desert Eagle's which are made in the same facility; a TiN .50AE (gorgeous!), and an early five digit serial number sold in 1991 .44 Mag DE. I can attest the customer service is second to none. They'll take the time to communicate, ask questions and get done what you need. For me it was a simple tune up for the .50 just to make sure it was perfect as I use it in a chest rig for the Bush here in Alaska, and the .44 for new springs and cleaning from the bottom up; it was kinda nasty inside.
I hoped I could have paid you folks a visit while I was still trucking but to no avail.
I bought one in 45/70 with a 10 inch barrel back when they first came out over 20 years ago, I wonder how they compare to the ones being made today , are the ones being made now stronger due to better technology and materials? I've really never fired any super hot loads in it because I'm not sure how it will hold up.
Hello, great revolver. Question. Rifling, Oil?
You Americans have a great sense of style. I love the fact that BFR stands for Big Fucking Revolver.
Id love to work there..
That's a Big F'ing Revolver!
These guns look like copies of the Freedom Arms single action guns. I have a Casull 454, which is an outstanding cowboy style firearm. As I aged, I gave in and had it ported to reduce the blow back. Helped.
The BFR is a rough copy of the Freedom Arms model 83.
I own a Freedom Arms Premier Grade model 83 in 454 Casull with accessory cylinders in 45 Colt, 45 Winchester Magnum and 45 ACP. Now this a an excellent made revolver.
I do believe the safety mechanism is different between the BFR and the FA83, for one thing.
@@exothermal.sprocket The safety maybe different, but Magnum Research definitely copied the Freedom Arms model 83 field grade idea in order to steal sales.
@@yooper7753 Steal sales? Are you implying they've violated patents?
@@exothermal.sprocket Obviously not.
Freedom Arms model 83's and BFR's (short cylinder) are not exact copies. BFR's are half the price of FA83's. Handle each and you'll quickly see and feel the difference. You truly get what you pay for.
Очень хорошее видео!!!Я с удовольствием заказал бы у этой фирмы револьвер 410 калибра!!!
I hope someday I can get one of them. I have some powerful revolvers but I want one that is even more powerful than any Smith and Wesson firearm.
With all the craziness in the world...I gotta ask.
Can I still design and order one of these currently??
You guys make absolute beautiful weapons. No-homo but God I love you MR.
Muito linda. Ah ! e a arma também.
Can you make a stainless steel 10 inch barrel for a wore out 10 inch Dessert Eagle stainless from the 80's
It could be fun if there was a BFR carbine. I won't lie. My wrist gets delicate after factory 44mag recoil. I'd want a stock for some of those moose swatters.
I could watch this gal sell snowballs to polar bears !
I bought 2 snowballs off of her.
I'm seeing this gun more and more. I'll probably buy one. But The Python is first on my list.
I dont know what outdoors you guys go to, but never ever have i needed a revolver that f**king big there lmao
@@tatumergo3931 i live in an area where bears frequent my trash can. i still dont need a gun like this. also i frequently hunt and fish in the outdoors. your point?
Cool can you make mags for my cw45 that actually work? I have to use 1911 mags and only a few of those work right..... It is frustrating
You're a regular Annie Oakley. You didn't miss the target once.
Hello, "YOU GO GIRL, 50Cal WOOHOO"!!!🤗 That's the cal of revolver you designed, right???🤔 Nice plinkin' for sure. Would have to try those and the upper ones to know which I'd like, been yrs. since I'd done a .357.... Have fun and be safe, take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏😇👊
.500 spl.
Do they make a 10mm Magnum?
Me like big gun it go big boom
So BFR actually stands for Big F%$@ing Revolver? lol Love these revolvers!
Excellent video. Good job guys! Wish that gun was legal in the commie state of MA. I would own one!
Yano i need one of these in 357mag to go along side my Henry rifle chambered the same!?! I have wanted a cowboy revolver for years? Now that i have one of my dream guns in my possession (A HENRY) golden boy in all brass i would love a revolver tricked out in brass. Do you guys make any that are golden in color?lol I think it would look kind of funny in silver to go with my all brass and wood Henry. It dosnt really matter as i would love one of these anyway!!! You sold me! It didnt hurt that you guys had a great looking gal in the video either! :>)
Give her the 45 70. She made that 50 look like a 38 going off
I doubt she shot any full power ammo. You can see how mild the recoil is when she shoots.
Revolvers were made earlier than 1873
Forged or cast
She was obviously not Shooting a BFR caliber at the beginning of this vid.
I could be wrong. Looks a little small for .50
Qual calibre ela calça? Não saquei.
I bet testing everyone gets to your hand after awhile.
Is this a competitor to the SW 500 magnum revolver?
Yes
Came out a LONG time before the big s&w
Now that's a handcannon
what kind of load was she using to produce a recoil like that?
that's like a primer and salt bae loading the powder.
Big fucking revolver revolver
I call it Big Fucking Round
Why don't you make a pic that can take 460 S&W + 454 casual + 45 LC ? or 454 + 45 LC + 410?
It's just 45 Colt, the 45 LC meaning 45 long Colt is a common misnomer.
@@yooper7753is to differrentiate from the 45 short colt, which some experts state did exist.
@jerrynorton1080
45 Colt name.
The 45 Colt is the official name used by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI).
45 long Colt is a common misnomer name. The cavalry soldiers came up with the 45 long Colt designation for the 45 Colt because it was longer than the 45 S&W cartridge used in the S&W Schofield revolver.
The 45 Automatic (Auto) was never part of the confusion.
A Colt 45 is a malt liquor.
Scroll to 16:50 and Thank me
You mean where she fingered the loading gate? Was pretty hot.
Got the 350 legend nice job guy's !!! Will be buying another bfr ! Also good job on the interview young lady you should be a model you are very butterfly and a good shot !
Big fucking revolver
Threw past experiences i have little use for Kahr arms. They might have improved by now but theyre early products (thompson and 1911) were garbage
“Biggest Finest Revolver” we all know damn well it really means “Big Fucken Revolver”
Teacup
👍👍👍💜🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Why is there bfr illegal in California. I don't get it
Single action revolvers are exempt from having to be on the DOJ list, so if you can find one, you can buy it. I live here in Kommiefornia (for now) so I know. I have lots of big bore single action revolvers. My favorite is the .41 magnum, it shoots like a laser, and hits plenty hard.
Well I call it Big Fu$&@! Revolver...!!?!
Makes me wonder why revolvers are so expensive
Materials. Machining. Overhead skilled labor. Time. Smaller lower volume company. Passion.
I only own two BFRs, both are long cylinders chambered for 45-70, the first is the Standard 7-1/2-inch barrel and the second is the Bisley 7-1/2-inch. Both 7-1/2-inch revolvers have a balanced feel, shoot great, and the trigger pulls are crisp. My only real comment (complaint) is out-of-the-box, there is no pistol case included with either revolver and only the cardboard shipping carton is what all new buyers receive.
On the KAHR Firearms Group, BFR website, there is no aftermarket case offered for any BFR revolvers and the prices are on the higher side of retail with no customer consideration of sales prices offered for new handgun purchases or seasonal discounts for Memorial Day, Fourth of July (Independence Day), Veteran's Day, Black Friday, and even the Christmas Holiday Season which other firearm manufacturers do offer to their customers and also offer to the general public (Beretta, Mossberg, Remington, and Ruger). When someone spends in excess of one-thousand dollars for a handgun it sure-otta come with a lockable protective case; even the standard two-holes, one on the top and one on the bottom are sufficient for a small TSA 4-combination lock (with shackle or cable) to satisfy most restrictive state legislation and also to keep small-curious hands away from the contents.
I sure hope KAHR Firearms Group reads this comment and pays attention, that all handguns should come inside a lockable protective case, and at a bare minimum, a plastic case with the ability to be locked from the outside like other reputable firearm manufacturers include with their quality handguns including the likes of Beretta, Colt, Glock, and Springfield Armory to name a few. In addition, the inclusion of a one-piece plastic cleaning rod and combination barrel and nylon-cylinder brush would also be a thoughtful and considerate touch to customers. In many states, when being transported, firearms have to be unloaded and inside a locked case.
Since this quality single action revolver is made in the USA and should be compliant in nearly every state, I was rather surprised that there were no specific instructions on how to lock the cardboard shipping carton.
They dont seem to be reading comments and dont reply. Maybe drop them a letter. A little spent on a bunch of nice cases and a few sales holidays could really boost sales. You might sell 100 at $1000 or you could sell maybe 800 for $900 on a sales holiday and make many thousands more in profit.
I like my name. Big fucking revolver 😊
Wheeler and Topping did it first, with stretched super blackhawks
I read that I personally couldn't just order a 450 marlin cylinder for interchange in my 4570 marlin that the tolerance would have to be matched with my pistol at magnum research. I would order one today if I didn't have to ship my gun back to M.R-BFR. IM afraid to attempt shipping nowadays with this fake virus besides I live on fixed income now. I wish you could say, yeah we will ship you a 450 marlin cylinder. Ive these 2 guns since late 90s. If the right person reads this message maybe they could help me. Thanks folks. 50yrs trucking an Im retired with arthritis and I dont get to shoot them without wincing a bit although im big an tall with baseball glove hands. I wish you folks could fix me up. They were $80 a cylinder then. Have a merry merry Christmas 🎅 good folks an your family's. I love guns as I have over 50 assorted pistols, rifles an shotguns. ☺😁
Det er rett og slett en pistol som bruker kamprifleammunisjon.
Without any facts, it's just an ad feature.
Smoking hot! The girl is pretty too 😀
I don’t like the look of the grip handle.
Its a modified version of keith's modified bisley grip
id let her ride my pony
I’d let her shoot my gun. Check out her wake boarding videos awesome girl.
BFR DOES NOT STAND FOR, "BIGGEST FINEST REVOLVER."
Stop pretending like it doesn't stand for big f'in revolver
Nice guns and craftsmanship, but my Lord are they ugly.
These guns are way to much 4 gentle female hands. The highest caliber a woman should go up to is .32 S&W long.
