Key Features
Caliber: .500 JRH
Chambered in .500 JRH, this revolver harnesses a cartridge designed for maximum terminal performance. The .500 JRH operates at pressures optimized for revolver platforms, delivering significant projectile velocity and kinetic energy transfer, critical for effective penetration and incapacitation of large or dangerous game. This chambering is a practical choice for serious hunters prioritizing overwhelming ballistic capability.
Barrel Configuration: 7.5 Inches
The 7.5-inch barrel length is selected to optimize downrange ballistic performance of the .500 JRH cartridge. This extended barrel contributes to increased projectile velocity, enhancing energy delivery at practical hunting distances. Furthermore, the longer sight radius facilitates a more stable sight picture, allowing for greater precision during critical shot placement.
Bisley Grip Frame Ergonomics
The integrated Bisley-style grip frame is a critical design element for managing the potent recoil of the .500 JRH. Its distinctive angle and extended tang position the hand to distribute recoil forces more efficiently, significantly enhancing shooter comfort and control. This ergonomic configuration aids in maintaining a consistent grip during rapid follow-up engagements and mitigates shooter fatigue during extended range sessions.
Robust Stainless Steel Construction
The BFR revolver is constructed entirely from durable stainless steel. This material choice ensures exceptional resilience against environmental stressors, including corrosion and abrasive field conditions. The robust construction underpins the revolver’s reliability and longevity, making it a dependable sidearm capable of withstanding rigorous use in diverse outdoor environments.
