Magnum Research BFR Bisley .500 S&W Magnum Revolver
The Magnum Research BFR Bisley in .500 S&W Magnum is an uncompromising single-action revolver engineered for extreme power delivery and field reliability. Designed for the discerning shooter who demands maximum performance from a handgun, the BFR platform is built to withstand and effectively deploy the most potent magnum cartridges available.
Key Features
Caliber Integration and Performance
Chambered in the formidable .500 S&W Magnum, this revolver is purpose-built to effectively engage large game at extended ranges. The cartridge’s energy potential is fully realized through the robust BFR platform, providing substantial terminal performance required for dangerous game hunting or long-range metallic silhouette shooting.
Structural Integrity and Material Selection
The entire revolver, including the frame, cylinder, and barrel, is precision-machined from high-grade stainless steel. This monolithic construction mitigates flex and withstands the substantial pressures generated by the .500 S&W Magnum, ensuring long-term operational integrity and consistent reliability under severe conditions. The brushed stainless finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance.
Barrel Length and Ballistic Optimization
A 10-inch barrel maximizes muzzle velocity, allowing projectiles to achieve their full ballistic potential. This extended barrel length also provides an increased sight radius, which contributes to enhanced projectile stability and improves the potential for precise shot placement, critical for accuracy in demanding field environments.
Recoil Management Ergonomics
The Bisley-style grip frame integrates a more upright and angled grip profile, specifically designed to re-direct the considerable recoil impulse generated by the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge. This ergonomic feature assists the shooter in maintaining control during firing and facilitates faster recovery for follow-up engagements, thereby optimizing handling characteristics with high-power loads.
Action Reliability
The robust single-action mechanism delivers a consistent, crisp trigger pull, a fundamental characteristic for achieving precision with high-power cartridges where exact shot timing is paramount.
