Let's keep the price under $1000 to make this realistic, otherwise everyone will say a Freedom Arms.
So, been thinking about .454 as I'd like a crazy powerful revolver for no other reason that to have it. Don't live in bear/moose country, don't hunt with handguns, just shoot at the range for fun. The big draw to .454 is it shoots .45 Colt, which I reload.
I have a .45 Colt Redhawk, but the barrel is 4 inches. I feel a longer barrel, higher pressure cartridge will generate a lot more power that I don't need, but want.
So, the options are Ruger, Taurus, and Magnum Research BFR. I feel that a single action with such a powerful round is a better idea, it'll help me shoot it more accurately. I'm on an anti-Ruger revolver crusade lately, their QC just isn't acceptable anymore, so if I were to get one, it'd be used.
Idk how a .454 Taurus is.
Right now, I'm leaning for the Magnum Research. Good price, high quality, same capacity as a Ruger Super Blackhawk .454 Bisley. The only thing is if I were to get a Magnum Research, I'm not sure I'd want the .454 vs a .45-70, which can't shoot .45 Colt and doesn't use .452 bullets.
