who is rossi dealer for canada...i want!!!

Epps carries Rossi...

4.75 lbs, but how many shots? If its more than 3 I wonder about the legalities for hunting...no way to block the mag like a plug in a tube magazine...
 
.45 Colt Bullet Velocity ??

really nice!

I read the .45 colt is a handgun caliber.. with a velocity around 860-1000fps so if it would be used in that rifle the velocity would be a lot higher right ?
 
.45 Colt can be hand-loaded to much higher velocities that compare favorably to the .44 Rem. mag.

I guess there's no rifling in the barrel and also no choke? Either way that would make it lousy in both!

I gotta agree with Woodsman on this one. I don't think you could have it good both ways. Shot is piss-poor through a rifled barrel and .45 would be pretty lack-luster through a smooth bore. Meh... I'll pass on this one.

Not really interested in a rifled barrel either, unless someone would guarantee it patterned half decent at 25 - 30 yds with 7.5 shot... But I would be interested a non restricted smooth bore revolver...

The catalog says that it's available with your choice of either a rifled or smoothbore barrel.

Cool about rifled barrel vs not...That does look very interesting. I'm particularly intrigued with the idea of a .410 bore revolver-rifle!

My thought is that a rifled barrel would not mess up the .410 pattern as much as a smooth barrel would mess up the .45 Colt accuracy. I'd go w/ rifled barrel.
 
Rifling in a shotgun barrel would make the .410 pattern useless after about 10 yds. Smoothbore would make the .45 shoot patterns - not groups. I think this is a "versatile" gun with no purpose other than to make the marketers some money.
I would also wonder about having my fore arm exposed to the blast from the cylinder gap. Hot gas and lead shavings do not seem like fun in the forearm!
But it does look like a cool toy!
