Midwest Industries’ Bounty Hunter series adds modular stocks, arm braces, and shell holders to large-frame revolvers, aiming to improve control and field versatility.
A Modular System Built for Revolvers
Midwest Industries designed the Bounty Hunter series as a patent-pending modular upgrade rather than a complete firearm. The system focuses on grips, a stock option, and an arm brace option.
Shooters choose based on whether they want a traditional stock setup or a more compact brace configuration. Personally, I’d choose the pistol brace option to avoid the complicated paperwork or possible legal issues that arise from traveling with an SBR.
The goal stays simple. Add stability when you need it. Remove it when you don’t.
A hardened steel, tool-free thumb screw secures the stock or brace. Most users can tighten it by hand. If the user has grip strength issues, they can tighten or loosen the thumbscrew with an allen wrench or other object that can be used as a lever to turn the screw. That makes it easy to carry the revolver as a handgun, then add the stock once you reach your shooting spot.
Designed for Comfort and Control
Midwest Industries built the Bounty Hunter series around multiple contact points. The stock version includes textured polymer panels, a polymer cheek piece, and a rubber butt pad to manage recoil. The grip geometry keeps the sight line compatible with iron sights and red dots.
The grip modules use an aluminum frame with polymer panels. They feel comfortable even without the stock attached. That matters for transport and holster carry without the stock or brace attached.
Engineers tested the system with shooters of different heights and builds. Length of pull varies by revolver model to keep the setup natural and balanced.
Built-In Shell Storage
An ambidextrous shell plate holder mounts directly to the system. It includes three universal shell holders and carries up to six rounds. The holders support nearly every common revolver caliber.
They work with small rounds like .38 Special and large cartridges like .45-70. Rounds snap in securely and release easily. Midwest Industries has used this shell system for years.
Wide Revolver Compatibility
The Bounty Hunter series supports a broad list of revolvers. Current options include Smith & Wesson K, L, N, and X frames. Taurus Raging Hunter and Judge models are covered.
Support also extends to Magnum Research BFR revolvers, Ruger Super Redhawk, Super Blackhawk, Blackhawk, and GP100 models. New-production Colt Anaconda and Python revolvers are supported as well.
Midwest Industries plans to expand compatibility through 2026. Chiappa Rhino models are already under evaluation.

Pricing and Availability
MSRP lands around $300, depending on configuration. Each setup includes the grip system and either a stock or arm brace, and a shell holder. Midwest Industries machines these in-house. New models will roll out steadily throughout 2026 as production continues.
The Bounty Hunter series doesn’t modernize revolvers for the sake of it. It simply gives shooters more options in the field.
