I love it when I find a gun company that just…gets me, you know? So I may or may not have squealed like a little girl getting to build her first teddy bear when I discovered that Magnum Research, Inc.–maker of the world-famous Desert Eagle pistol–has a website dedicated solely to making custom builds of their BFR (which stands for “Biggest Finest Revolver,” don’t you know, proving that Magnum Research really does get me). It’s called CustomBFRRevolver.com, and if you can spend less than five minutes on there, well, you’re a better man than I am.
This site is a dream tool for fans of big bore guns, as well as big, bored gunwriters. You can create your perfect custom BFR from start to finish with online graphics that reflect each detail as they are selected, so you can see exactly what your Big, Fine Revolver will look like before you place your order. The website also offers customers the ability to create an account, contact the Custom Shop directly, and learn more about the development of Magnum Research’s BFR revolvers. (I haven’t researched that part yet, but I’m going to assume that they said, “How can we make the biggest, Finest revolver you’ve ever seen even more awesome?” and that was pretty much it.)
While building your BFR, you’ll have choices of grip and frame finish, grip style, barrel length, caliber, triggers, sights…you name it, and you can choose it. Here’s what my current favorite looks like:
Please feel free to leave a comment insinuating that I am merely overcompensating for my “shortcomings” as a man. I won’t be able to hear you over how awesome my custom Magnum Research BFR is. Or you could just click here and build one for yourself!

X- Frame S&W 500 magnum, for when the burglar is hiding behind the refrigerator……At your neighbors house!!!!!!

Nope – no need to build one – I already have a BFR – Model 57 S&W – more than adequate for destroying any stray beetles (VW type) I may encounter 😉

Please check the distance from the rear of the trigger guard to the grip. I shot one years ago and the trigger guard caught my middle finger on every shot.

My Contender does the same thing! I just received a XVR .460 S&W from the Performance Center. Wow what a gun. I have not had the privilege to shoot a BFR yet but jump at the chance. Thanks for the “heads up” on your experience with one.

to expand on my other post……Don’t try and grip it high like an auto pistol, hold the grip low at bottom (I put my pinky down under the gun butt) you will have better leverage to handle the recoil. Also I keep my elbows bent slightly so the recoil wont tire me out. Been shooting my .44 super blackhawk for 40 yrs now and a 100rds doesn’t even tire me out.

Just keep at, you will get your grip and that problem will go away then………whoooha funner time than a 22lr
