Magnum Research's new BFR

I cant get my head wrapped around how you'd even hold that thing tight enough to keep your teeth.
I hate that style of pistol grip to begin with. I feel like it just invites more recoil and lessens your ability to control it.
But besides that..what a conceal carry!!

I carried a .454 in Alaska, and had no problem shooting it, respectfully. Just looking at that .460 hurts my wrist.

after shooting a .460 and .500 the .460 kicked harder.  It was in a bear defense setup that had a short barrel.  Impressive but definitely one you wouldn't want to limp wrist and want to hang on. 

is this bfr chambered in 45/70 like the rest?

I guess I kinda assumed it was. I cant really find anything that says it isnt.

I came that close to buying one of their vent rib 410 pistols. I couldn't find any information on the shot pattern and I asked them and they sent me a picture of a shot pattern with number nine shot from 5 feet away which didn't help and then the price was like $1500 I said hell with that.

not really given it an excuse but most 45/70 ammo is pretty tame compared to the likes of a .460 or .500 s&w.  but still would and could be a wrist bruiser.  not sure why anyone would want a pistol like that anyhow other then fun.  A contender wouldn't be a bad pistol to get it in but they kick like a mule as well.  Dad has a .44 mag barrel I swapped onto my frame one year to hunt deer and it stuns ya a bit.  another reason why im kinda not tempted to buy that 30/30 one.  I feel like I could kill a deer with my .223 setup.  its definitely accurate enough.  I have shot some ground hogs and pretty good distances before.

Ive shot deer with my .223 carbine, get good deer ammo n let er rip

I used to load sierra game kings for fox because they just mushroomd instead of blowing up.  That was my plan if I was going to use it.  Figured a good shot behind the shoulder would do it.
