This thing really intrigues me. I love the 410's.
Id be interested on how it could shoot with longer cases in 45 colt guise. Or FL Brass 410.
I know its just a fun gun but might be a nice camp / ATV companion.

It will not chamber a 45 cartridge longer than 45 Colt . There's a definite step down in size. I did a chamber cast and took measurements, they should be in a previous post in this thread.
I'm almost thinking about having it reamed out to take 45-444 brass or 410 brass cases.
They are out of stock everywhere I looked.
A video that I watched showed decent patterns with bird shot; making it instantly interesting to me.
My brother had a Taurus Raging Judge .454 and that thing was dumber than a Desert Eagle….in my opinion.
And .410 shot patterns had big holes fired from it.

For a cheap gun they seem to be pretty well made. If Rossi made a carbine version with real sights they wouldn't be able to make them fast enough. It would be a great choice for hunting in straight wall states, assuming it shoots .45's decent. Customers have told me the Judge shoots .45's surprisingly well.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
If by "surprisingly well", your customers meant to compare it to a dog walking on its hindlegs, I suppose it might be said. Johnson:, "...like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."
My own observation is that at other than arm's length, a Judge is not at all accurate. My brother described his as "patterning like a donut, grouping like a pattern and too light for a boat anchor." YMMV, but I doubt it.

That's just what they tell me, I have zero interest in anything .410/.45. Already have a .410 H&R and wouldn't want to shoot that round in a handgun for way more recoil and much worse patterning. A single shot .45 Colt carbine for two bills would be a really good seller though, 'specially if they also offered it in .357 or even .44. Even at $300.00 I think it would sell really well.

Thats one thing Id be doing right off!! A couple .454 balls in a 410 case!!

I agree, a straight 45 colt, 357, or even 44 spl would be a great seller.
Rule #1 - Use the correct ammo . Every firearm is not intended to fire every cartridge made ... just because it fits into the chamber , that doesn't mean you can / should shoot it .
My Daddy would tell me ..." Boy , Don't be acting the Fool ... Think about what you doing ! "
