    What pistol are you referring to, Re; the "mares leg, .410"?

    I know that the 410 handguns get around the DD thing by being rifled and chambering .45 colt, but I have no idea how they'd do that with a 28 Ga, as it's over .5" bore.

    Either Taurus knows something about ATF regs that nobody else does or they're just complete idiots.

    Taurus is an international corporation. While the US may be their largest, I'm sure we are not their only market. While ATFE may think they rule the world they really don't. Having a weapon pulled from the Shot Show by anti-gun bureaucrats, you can buy that kind of advertising.

    A .54 cap and ball revolver, loaded with Buffalo Bullets, you might be onto something there.

    Some have conjectured that Taurus knew it wouldn't get past the BATmen, but they made one anyway just to yank Smith&Wesson's chain for coming out with a six shot Judge clone.

    It would be hard to get anyone enthusiastic about a six shot .410 when the guy down the aisle is flashing around a five shot 28 gauge.

    Me, I like my shotguns much more "traditional", but I applaud giving everybody a choice.

    I still think if they "Created" a 52Taurus Round (28 slug in brass hull) it could fly. Especialy if the teaser entices enough interest.

    they didn't do their homework, apparently, 'cause they were informed at the shot show by the Feds they can't make it in it's current configuration (smooth bore)

    BS on the 'double autoloader', fancy photoshop job is my bet.

    As to the 28 ga Taurus revolver. I grinned and shook my head at
    the Judge in .410. With this it is a LOL and wonder if they are
    really serious.

    As to ATF being idiots - is that supposed to be sarcasm?

    BATFE, being their usual Skunk At A Garden Party selves. Whatta bunch of fun-sucking pogues.

    I'm not in the market for a 28-bore revo, but what the heck.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
