Gary, the grip frame mods and the custom grips are only $350, which won't push the cost of the BFR up much. They are hard to beat as new ones can be had for less than $1,000.00. They are typically exceedingly accurate and have a transfer bar which pleases me.

Ruger Super Blackhawks can be had in many flavors to include blue or stainless, plow handle or Bisley, .44 Mag, .454 Casull, or .480 Ruger, etc.

FAs are always an option as well and can be had reasonably on the used gun market.

Many options to choose from!
