Description
Magnum Research calls the BFR the Biggest Finest Revolver, and once you pick one up you understand why. This is a full stainless steel, American-made single action built from the ground up to handle heavy loads, not a converted small-frame gun stretched past its comfort zone. This version runs both .45 Colt and 3-inch .410 shotshells through the same six-shot cylinder, which makes it one of the more versatile trail and ranch guns you can carry. Load it with stout .45 Colt for hogs and deer-sized game, or drop in .410 shells for snakes, pests, and close-range work around the property.
What Sets This BFR 45LC/410 Apart
The 7.5-inch vent rib barrel with a bead front sight gives it a distinct shotgun-style look and points naturally when you are swinging on a moving target. A removable modified choke and wrench come in the box, which tightens up those .410 patterns considerably compared to running shells through a bare rifled bore. When you switch back to .45 Colt, the cut rifled barrel delivers the kind of accuracy the BFR line is known for, with plenty of these guns printing tight groups at 50 yards with lead or jacketed bullets.
Built Like a Magnum Research Revolver Should Be
Every BFR is hand fit, hand polished, and proof fired before it leaves the shop in Minnesota. The free-wheeling cylinder spins in either direction for easy loading and unloading, and the brushed stainless finish shrugs off weather, sweat, and holster wear. The black Hogue rubber grip soaks up recoil and keeps the gun planted in your hand, even with warm loads.
Who the BFR 45 Colt/410 Makes Sense For
If you spend real time outdoors, this revolver earns its spot on your hip. Handgun hunters, ranchers, and anyone wanting a do-it-all sidearm for the backcountry will appreciate having big-bore power and shotshell utility in one rugged, no-nonsense package that will outlast just about anything else in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Magnum Research BFR 45LC/410 shoot 3-inch .410 shells?
Yes, the cylinder on this model is long enough to accept 3-inch .410 shotshells as well as 2.5-inch shells. It also fires .45 Colt from the same cylinder, so you can switch between shotshells and bullets without changing anything. That flexibility is a big part of why this configuration is so popular as a trail and ranch gun.
Does this BFR come with a choke?
It does. A removable modified choke and wrench are included with the .45LC/.410 model. The choke tightens up your .410 patterns noticeably, which matters when you are shooting shot through a rifled barrel. Remove it when you want to shoot .45 Colt for best accuracy.
How accurate is the BFR with .45 Colt loads?
Very. The BFR uses a precision cut rifled barrel, and Magnum Research states many BFR calibers will group well under 2 inches at 50 yards with iron sights. Every gun is hand fit, hand assembled, and proof fired before it ships, so the accuracy is baked in from the factory.
Is the Magnum Research BFR too heavy to carry in the field?
It is a big revolver, no question, weighing in around four and a half pounds with a 17.5-inch overall length. That said, a quality chest rig or crossdraw holster makes it comfortable to pack all day, and the weight works in your favor by soaking up recoil from heavy .45 Colt loads. Most owners find the tradeoff well worth it for the versatility.
