Does any manufacturer make a 5 X 5 that has tight/magnum/Canadian bend jaws?

Bridger shows theirs as "magnum" but the jaws look traditional vs. tight closing....

I know about the Bill Crum/RBG but also believe those are NOT tight/Canadian bend jaws?

Thanks

bridgers magnums achieve the magnum status via smaller springs eyes which gets tighter closure. That issue has been discussed ad nauseum here.

savageau makes a 5x4.5 that has kill bars and belisle has a 4.5x4.5

The simple answer is "No" Mark. You could buy whatever brand (like the Duke 155's) and have the kill bars added like the old bulldog Duke 220's had. I think that's the only way to achieve what you're looking for currently.
