Magnum Research BFR
Notes: The BFR
(Biggest, Finest Revolver or Big Frame Revolver informally also called the Big
Fu**in Revolver) is a well-made American revolver that uses virtually
all-stainless steel construction and long barrels to produce large, heavy
firearms that are built to fine tolerances and perform very well.
The BFR is known for its accuracy and quality.
The BFR is virtually handmade, parts being hand-fitted and polished.
The grip frame is a modified version of that used on the Ruger Super
Blackhawk, and the alloy rear sight is also almost identical to that of the
Super Blackhawk, and fully-adjustable.
The front sight, however, is a simple ramped blade.
The cylinder is unusual for a double-action revolver, in that the
cylinders are loaded via a loading gate, and the cylinder can rotate in either
direction when the loading gate is open.
There are actually two cylinder sizes depending on the length of the
round, as well as two frame sizes, depending on the power of the round.
The .45LC/.410 version has a full-length ventilated aiming rib.
Magnum Research
considers the BFR to have two versions, though both are basically identical
except for barrel length. Versions
with barrels of less than 7 inches are generally referred to as Little Max
versions, while longer-barreled versions are called Big Maxine.
In 2018, the BFR
was updated in several ways. (This
remodeled version is sometimes known as the BFR 2.0.) The hammer spur, though of
by many shooters as too small, was made taller and narrower. The new hammer is
also made of stainless steel and given tighter tolerances.
The grip was made a wrap-around, soft rubber, ergonomic, one-piece Hogue
grip. The new grip is available
separately and will fit any BFR manufactured in 2000 or later.
The new BFRs are finished in brushed stainless steel.
A 6.5-inch barrel version was added to some calibers.
The .45-90
Winchester, .38-55 Winchester, .375 Winchester, .444 Marlin, .450 Marlin, and
.50 Beowulf chamberings of the BFR are products of Magnum Researchs Precision
Center, and are strictly limited-production, order-only chamberings.
In short-cylinder models, the .22 Hornet/.218 Bee, .480 Ruger/.475
Linebaugh, .50 GI, .50 Action Express, and .500 JRH chamberings are products of
the Precision Center.

Meriden Pocket Revolver
Notes: This
revolver is not a mystery it is a simple pocket revolver with a short barrel
and a bobbed hammer, and a break-open top for reloading of the cylinder.
The mystery is its origin the Meriden company had unknown ownership.
Some say the company was owned by Sears & Roebuck, others say it was
owned by Andrew Fyrberg, and still others say it was a part of

NAA Mini-Master/Black Widow
Notes:
These are essentially long-barreled versions of the Mini-Derringer, the
Mini-Master with a 4-inch barrel, and the Black Widow with a 2-inch barrel.
Both come with interchangeable cylinders for use with either .22 Long
Rifle or .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridges.
The Mini-Revolver is smaller still, with a 1.125-inch barrel or a
1.625-inch barrel (in .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum), and do not have
interchangeable cylinders. The Pug Mini Revolver has a barrel length of 1 inch,
and is deliberately built a bit heavy (for its size). The Mini-Revolvers have
wood grips, and the Mini-Master and Black Widow rubber grips; it is debatable
whether to call these weapons large derringers or small revolvers.
The Mini-Revolvers have only a blade front sight, while the Mini-Master
and Black Widow have rear sights. Construction in all cases is of all-steel, and
have manual safeties. Their
triggers have no trigger guards.
The
Mini-Revolvers can be had with grip/holsters; these fold the frame into the grip
to produce a smaller package. The
guns cannot be fired in this condition, and have passive safeties to ensure they
are not. These cost 1% more than
standard Mini-revolvers.
In 2005, NAA
introduced Mini-Masters and Black Widows in .17 caliber.
These are basically the same as the other weapons, except for the
caliber.
In 2010, NAA
introduced a top-break version of their Mini-Revolver with a 1.625-inch barrel
in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, identical except for a slight weight
difference and that breaking open the revolver pushes out the shells so they can
be easily grasped for unloading/removal of spent shells.
Recoil stats are also slightly different, but the Top-Break Mini-Revolver
is otherwise identical to a standard Mini-Revolver of the same caliber and
barrel-length.

Notes: The .17 caliber versions of this weapon do not exist.

New England Firearms Standard Revolver
Notes: New England
Firearms (often called simply NEF), a former subsidiary of Harrington &
Richardson, introduced this small-caliber revolver in 1988.
It is, as the name might indicate, an unremarkable sort of revolver, with
either a blued or nickel-plated finish, except for perhaps an unusual choice of
ammunition in this day and age: .32 Smith & Wesson Long.
It should be noted that while .32 H&R Magnum ammunition will fit in the
.32 S&W Long version of this revolver, it
should never be fired from the NEF Standard, since the power of the .32 H&R
Magnum is way too great for the NEF Standard revolver and could cause a chamber
explosion. The rear sight is
adjustable. Finish is typically a
polished blue/black finish called by NEF the Lustre finish.
The Ultra
Revolver is basically
a larger, more powerful,
and heavy-barreled version of the NEF Standard Revolver.
The barrel length of the .22 caliber versions is 4 inches, while the .32
H&R Magnum has only a 3 barrel.
The finish of these revolvers is typically polished blue.
