Golden & Regular Bison Bull Pistols
We had an interesting day today at CenterStage Productions. It’s not everyday that your company gets hired to film the debut of a new, American made handgun – fabricated right here in Southeast Wisconsin. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that the round is a .45-70! Woah! Having handled our fair share of high quality firearms, we were curious about how this six-gun would compare to more traditional handgun calibers. So off we headed, with gear in tow, to local sportsman’s club Fin ‘N’ Feather in Palmyra, Wis. on a lovely November day to film this beast and possibly squeeze off a few rounds.
The objective of the day was fourfold – to demonstrate the overall functionality and handling of the Bison Bull, to compare the recoil of the Bison Bull .45-70 to a traditional .44 magnum, in this case a Ruger Redhawk, to document an average grouping from a factory Bison Bull at 25 yards, and to showcase some impact results from the .45-70 round.
Gregg Stuart, president of the Fin ‘N’ Feather, was on site to lend his expertise as well as the club’s resources to the staff from Super Six Classic. This was Gregg’s first time handling the Bison Bull which enabled him to provide some key insight relative to his Ruger .44 magnum and previous experiences with .45-70 caliber handguns from other manufacturers.
Below is our edit, highlighting the action from that November morning, that Super Six Classic presented at the 2011 SHOT show in Las Vegas. Feel free to take a gander at the specs of the Bison Bull on Super Six Classic’s website. After firing off a few rounds at the range that day, we believe the .45-70 round in the Bison Bull is a breeze to shoot, consistent with the action portrayed in this promotional clip.
