This is the first example of usable backup iron sights I've seen with a red-dotted revolver. The ACRO is a pretty good optic choice for that, basically being a Picatinny (ish) cross slot mount - no teeny holes or wimpy screws needed to hold your sight on.
Now if we can get that on a GP-100 or Mountain Gun - yeah, I'd play.

Re: One SEXY BFR
I was thinking a Redhawk has more frame to work with for mounting that sight….. in response to he’s comment about. GP100, but then not sure what should be bestCPJ 2.0 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2026 4:07 pmNo it wouldn’t.

Re: One SEXY BFR
Yeah. . .gotta take some calipers to an ACRO mount and compare that to the factory meat on a GP or Redhawk to see if it'd be good to go without adding material. I think S&W's frames are going to be too small as is, but I think we've got a concept from which to lobby for an industry paradigm shift.

I think a SA Blackhawk would be a better platform. I can guarantee that if we give the “problem” to our resident mad gunsmith he’ll figure it out in minutes.

Re: One SEXY BFR
That is sharp for sure.
BFR's are strong and accurate revolvers.
For that much coin, I would likely be going with a Spohr.

Re: One SEXY BFR
In my insomniac state last night I realized that I've never built a revolver, from scratch. So now I have to build one from scratch after I finish my pinfire rifle and I have to do it in something stupid like 45-70.
