Reeder Custom Guns - Thoughts on the BFR revolvers? I have

never shot one, but I have the opportunity to buy one from a guy who found the recoil of a .454 Casull to be a bit more than he bargained for. He has fired a whopping total of 15 shots through it. I suggested that he may want to try shooting some .45 Long Colt ammo through it and eventually work up to some .454's if he felt so inclined. He offered to sell it to me for $650. Says this was the first single action he ever shot other than a .357 Blackhawk years ago. Before I part with some cash...which is not in the nature of us Pennsylvania Dutch, I figured a few of you own one or more and can give me your insights.

Very accurate, nice gun. 2 things you will want to do (and I still need to) is get the front sight replaced and have Gary do a set of grips on it. Is it the newer style with the Bisley grip and hammer or the older style. Mine is older.

lucky enough to buy quite a few handguns at really cheap prices from knuckleheads who have never fired a handgun with some snappy recoil. They read a magazine article and go out and buy things they aren't ready for.

I own five BFRs and no finer big bores out there. I prefer over the FA83 any day.
