OUT OF THE DESERT

Steel-pistol fans rejoice! The Baby Desert Eagle has returned.

Handguns, Feb / Mar 2012 | By Patrick Sweeney

It may surprise you to discover that there was a 9mm handgun that actually drew praise from the late Col. Jeff Cooper, that pistol being the CZ-75. Back when the pistol options were few and polymer was only for use in consumer electronics, the 75 offered several benefits: You could carry it cocked and locked; you could ease the hammer down and use it double-action on the first shot; and it held a lot of ammo. Granted, they were “only” 9mm—this was before the days of reliably expanding bullets, and +P and +P+ loads—but the CZ-75 housed a lot of them. ...

BFR: Bang for the revenue

A gun for all seasons and all reasons

Boar Hunter, Nov/Dec 2011 | By Max Prasac

Magnum Research entered the revolver building business in 1999, with the introduction of the BFR — the Biggest Finest Revolver, chambered in the ubiquitous .45/70 Government. You read that correctly, hence the Biggest in BFR as it takes a large cylinder and equally large frame to house the .45/70 in a revolver, giving the BFR comic book proportions. Fast-forward to 2011, and Magnum Research still produces extended framed single-action revolvers for the .45/70, .460 Smith & Wesson, and even the old warhorse .30/30, to name but a few. They also offer a much less cumbersome revolver chambered in standard handgun calibers that are comparable to a Ruger Super Blackhowk in statue. ...
