Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EAA Bounty Hunter also fire .45 ACP ammunition?
The standard Bounty Hunter chambered in .45 Long Colt is designed specifically for .45 LC cartridges. It does not natively accept .45 ACP without moon clips, which are not included. If you need to shoot .45 ACP, look for a model specifically configured for dual-caliber use or consult with a gunsmith about compatibility options.
Is the 7.5-inch barrel a good choice for hunting or just range use?
The 7.5-inch barrel is an excellent option for both hunting and range shooting. The longer barrel provides a greater sight radius for improved accuracy at distance and allows more complete powder burn, which translates to higher muzzle velocity — an important factor when using .45 Long Colt for hunting medium to large game. It also gives the revolver that authentic, full-size Western appearance many shooters love.
How does the transfer bar make the Bounty Hunter safer than older single-action designs?
Traditional single-action revolvers could fire if the hammer was struck while resting on a live round — a known hazard of older designs. The Bounty Hunter's transfer bar system interposes a mechanical bar between the hammer and the firing pin only when the trigger is fully pulled. This means the revolver cannot discharge unless the trigger is intentionally depressed, making it significantly safer for carry and handling without sacrificing the classic single-action experience.
