The only BFR I ever saw actually being shot was a .45-70. It just looked like a monster Super Blackhawk for me. I'd rather have a good carbine.

Fredom Arms are much finer guns. Much more expensive, too, of course. They will sell you dedicated .45 Colt or even .45 ACP cylinders if you can't handle the real thing all the time. I know I can't. I'd rather a FA 97 anyhow. Or a Blackhawk .45 with an action job.

I don't do cool. I shoot.
