Rossi Brawler 45/410 single shot

[cwlongshot]

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.

Thanks for the link. I’m hoping to see one in person first but ordering may be necessary.

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.

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.

Or a .327 Federal, to shoot the whole .32 family.

Just a stub job away- I like your thinking there.

Interesting


I just had a REALLY BAD IDEA or Thought
With the chamber long enough for a 2 1/2"410
What would happen if some Know It All stuck a 454 Casual round
Or even worse a 460 S&W factory load in it and pulled the trigger ?

Not sure if that pistol could stand up to that long term
I guess I just like my fingers the way they are

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 ! "
