This week we're taking a look at the BFR (Biggest Finest Revolver), from Magnum Research. A behemoth of a wheelgun, this hand-cannon comes chambered in a number of calibers more familiar to rifle aficionados, than pistol shooters. Our test model, chambered in .45-70 Government, boasts a five-shot cylinder, soft black grips, and an impressive amount of recoil. For more information about this dangerous-game stopping sidearm, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor, David Herman. MSRP: $1302; magnumresearch.com
