Pillager, MN – Magnum Research (MRI) has always counted their BFR (Big Frame Revolver) series among their many success stories. It all began in 1999, when an independent gunsmith/designer named Jim Tertin, was approached by MRI to manufacture the new large caliber revolver for them. Tertin mastered the base pin design, firing pin, barrels, frame and cylinder, and fine-tuned the timing of all BFR revolvers, and then put it into production for Magnum Research. In 2005, Tertin sold the BFR design to MRI and was hired by them as the Director of Manufacturing. His focus is now that of Director of Design, Research and Development for all MRI products including the iconic Desert Eagles and Baby Desert Eagles.In an effort to always keep the BFR in the forefront of this competitive industry of revolver manufacturers, the BFR has been redesigned with some exciting new features. The hammer spur was addressed first and it is now taller and narrower than previous models. It was raised vertically allowing for easier cocking and is significantly easier to shoot, even with a gloved hand. The new hammer is 100% machined in stainless steel and is made with extremely tight tolerances giving it a very smooth and consistent trigger pull.

Also new for the entire BFR product line is the soft rubber, one-piece grip. Read more

The Meprolight R4E Optimized Duty Sight is now available at www.themakogroup.com/r4e. The ultra-bright tritium-powered sight is designed to assist with target acquisition capabilities by helping shooters get on target, faster and more accurately.The R4E was uniquely designed in close collaboration with two U.S. Army Special Operations veterans who saw the need for a specialized sight to increase target acquisition time— a necessity in defensive shooting situations. The Optimized Duty Sight features five key elements for sight alignment. The rear sight features two horizontal lines and one vertical line, which line up with the vertical line and tritium dot on the front sight. The additional lines of the ODS design create a reticle effect and cause the eye to naturally focus on the front sight, which is critical in defensive shooting situations. The design leads the eye to focus faster by tapping into your intuition.

The R4E is available for all Glock pistols including a model for suppressed Glocks. Coming in October, there will be model-specific versions for the Sig P226/320, H&K VP9, including suppressed and for the venerable 1911.

To learn more about the Meprolight R4E, watch the video below from The Mako Group! In the video, you’ll learn about the unique design and get to see the sights in action.
