Odin, I try to assess things without emotion attached. I own and have owned both revolvers in question. I believe that gives me a good foundation from which to be critical. I think we've all put up some compelling points.

That said, you already own the BFR, correct? A custom grip and grip frame mods from JRH will set you back $325.00. Tuning it should cost you another $100.00 or so and you are done. Nothing else to do unless you really want a shorter barrel or something else. For a minimum cash outlay, you are already there. JMHO.
