As much as this seems like the starting weapon from some fallout game. at $230 MSRP, it's a competent entry into a hunting handgun. I think it would be neat if they offered other barrels for it. Something like this, that also had a .22LR barrel, or a .357 barrel would be neat.

[@jamespetkwitz8737]

At that price this is a pointless. It's a novelty gun.. why waste the money. If you are looking for something fun.. maybe.. but a Judge is going to be way more fun. If you are looking for a single shit hunting pistol. Why not buy a used TV contender. Way more barrel options and a solid gun that was around for decades. This seems like a novelty gun that you buy and maybe pickup once or twice. Save the 200 bucks and upgrade something else you will use.. or save and buy something infinitely better.

I agree with the ones you've mentioned. There good guns. But thats not the same animal that we are talking about here. The gun here has way to long of a chamber for a 45 colt And way to big of barrel + rifling to use the 410 shot shell well. Its nothing but a loophole sorta gun to get around stupid gun laws that should have never been allowed to happen in the first place

Thankyou and Rossi once againe has come through with an affordable single shot hunting pistol that will appeal to many , good boat gun farm gun on the tractor and overall just a good product . Thankyou so much for your expertise and fair evaluation.

[@jarkoer]

I used to own a Rossi Matched Pair Pistol that could shoot 45/410 with a second barrel you could swap out that was chambered for .22 lr. It was a decent snake-killer and the .22 barrel was also good, but the accuracy on the 45 LC simply wasn't there. People say it's because the rifling was too far ahead of the 45 LC in the chamber, but I've never had a problem with accuracy out of my Raging Judge Magnum. I have to say that the accuracy out of the Winchester ammo seemed pretty good and I like the ejection. Those are definitely good upgrades from what I owned in the past. Now if Rossi ever went full "Thompson Center" here and offered replacement barrels in various calibers, sales might really blow up (pun not intended) with the handgun hunter crowd! Considering today's level of inflation, $230 isn't a bad price point at all for this kind of gun.

If you can find them, Cobray from Ducktown Tennessee made a side by side .45/.410 with 11" bbls. Had a selector on the hammer to select the bbl you were shooting. Also made a short bbl side by side and a short bbl over/under slab side. They are very rudimentary but very solid construction.

[@greylocke100]

On the ejection/extraction, some of the European ammo uses a slightly dirtier powder, so residue coming back into the chamber could be causing the sticking. As he fired the .45 LC round the first 2 "Stuck" while the third ejected cleanly. So the stuck cases were cleaning up the residue left in the chamber.

[@anthonyrichard461]

The first 45lc's that didn't eject were from Ammo Inc. USA made. I had a round in my Sig 5.56 from Ammo inc that ruptured. Blew the magazine completely apart. Luckily I was not injured. Inspected the rest of the rounds and there were imperfections in the brass casing that may have been the cause.

[@greylocke100]

@@anthonyrichard461 The shells prior to the .45LC were the European shotshells, which may have slightly dirtier powder. Bloke on the Range and Chap have mentioned some increased fouling a few times. The Ammo Inc ammo may be overloaded, I don't know. But it also MAY, MAY be because of the powder used in the import shotshells. Since the third .45 LC ejected properly, which was why I posited there may have been residue in the chamber causing the original extraction/ejection issues. On the 5.56 you had, did it damage your rifle, other than blowing the mag apart?

[@anthonyrichard461]

@@greylocke100 Yep, I picked up on the Euro shotgun shells being shot prior to the Ammon Inc 45LC's being shot. Hard to say what caused what? I know I have experienced very crappy ammo fouling up guns prematurely. Worst was some 300 Blackout ammo I shot out of an AR with a 10 inch barrel. Gun started jamming and wouldn't go into battery after about 25-30 rounds. Completely full of unburnt pellets of powder in the cartridge chamber and BCG. I think the manufacture used the wrong powder on these loads. 300 BLK and short barreled guns require pistol cartridge powder to burn more quickly. On my Sig 556 after the cartridge failure I have only shot 1 20 round magazine. I will be honest I'm a little gun shy, no pun intended to shoot it any time soon. Good Day

I like it. I realize many others will criticize it, why not other calibers, why not buy a T/C. Truth is this is inexpensive and offers an option, better than my Cobray Double D and less expensive than my Governor, especially giving you greater barrel length and a 3" chamber. Not sure of laws yet for hunting, but I do think extreme Turkey hunting with this thing, would be a crazy cool hunting option especially for some outfitters. I would have loved to see how it did with some 3" slugs, maybe I will be testing that out myself. Also, many people poo poo, .410 self defense rounds, but yet I don't see anyone willing to stand in front of one.

[@teotwawki00]

I have the Comanche. Same thing, and it's great. So much fun.

[@martyadams3915]

The .410/.45 combo is really cool. I have had the judge as well as the Comanche which is a single shot with a western grip. One thing i have found is the .45/.410 combo gun will never be as accurate as a dedicated .45 only of say a single shot or lever gun due to the jump between the bullet and the chamber same to the judge as the jump plus the jump to the cone hurts it even more. One problem is everyone wants to load it with the hottest newest bad boy .45 cartridges they can find and that magnifies the accuracy problem limiting the gun to under 20 yards. Just remember that a soft bullet going a little slower is going to be much much more accurate in a combo gun. As far as the .410 part goes its an under 25 yard single shot and under 10 yard wheel gun shotgun anyway for the most part and it does its job in the combo gun extremely well. If you can find someone. To load that .45 in full length brass so as the bullet seats in the chamber it truly is going to be a very very versatile handgun.

[@gregzeigler3850]

The Comanche also comes with a screw on choke for the .410 shell, which helps it quite a bit for patterns. It will shoot a slug incredibly straight.. I always just shoot .410 shells in mine.

[@zackzittel7683]

The judge has micro groove rifling which doesn’t stabilize heavy jacketed bullets well. It has much less to do with the jump to the condensing cone… (like how 38 in a .357 is just as accurate) and even 9mm with moon clips. Also .45LC has a diameter of .451-.452 and .410 Slugs are .395-.405 in diameter. You’d think the smaller diameter slug wouldn’t be as accurate but it has more to do with the length of the projectile…. A .410 slug weighs between 89 and 158 grains .45LC slugs weigh 225-255 grains so the 45 is much longer and needs faster twist rates (the Taurus/Rossi has very slow twist rates and micro groove rifling) it is a compromise. It doesn’t shoot .45 slugs well and it doesn’t shoot .410 shot well…. But it does both… poorly.
