Hi Adam and welcome. No Sir. CA has a disdain for small easily concealed pocket guns. Cheers, stay safe and good luck searching for something suitable!

Since it's only a single round capacity, is it beery enough to handle +p loads?

I could never find any specific manufactures information on the Cyclops in 45-70. What was found was off their website YouTube videos. What they did say is that by going with a single barrel design and lowering the center of gravity, they were able to make the pistol much more controllable in larger calibers like the 45-70. Utilizing their new synthetic grip material verses wood designs that were prone to failures, has allow them to build into the 1,900, 2,000 and 2,100 FPS range per Gordon Bond during a SHOT Show interview. The 45-70 though is most comfortable shot in the 1,400 FPS range with Federal ammo. The only specifics I heard was Federal ammo at 1,400 FPS loads.

It can tolerate +p, but that is unnecessary in a rifle round that was adopted by the military.

In a barrel this short, the extra powder of +P won't be burned and will only give excessive recoil and muzzle flash with no real performance increase. Cheers and stay safe!

As always Buds is great to deal with. The purchase was easy and my gun was delivered fast. I have purchased many firearms from Buds and they are always professional and fast. I have never had any issues with Buds. The gun I purchased was a Bond Arms Cyclops in 45-70. This gun is a beast and kicks like a beast, I LOVE IT! Thanks Buds, I plan to be a customer of yours forever. Mark

If you use Cowboy loads, the ones as strong as the black power 45-70, you can shoot all day. If you load +p bear loads one shot = pain in hand. Fun gun to shoot with friends. Lever evolution hurts a little.
