For those who may be interested ,the Taurus Circuit Judge is now available in 28 gauge.The 28 gauge Taurus Circuit Judge is a five shot revolving shotgun with an 18.5 inch barrel
Thanks for sharing. I am not sure at this stage why they would make this in 28ga?? Some ugly to me

Why is it restricted with that 18.5" barrel and fixed stock??
I may have jumped to conclusions on this one...the .410/.45 Colt version is restricted for sure. I was told because it has a revolving action it is considered a handgun by our law makers and therefore restricted...another source told me it was because the barrel was rifled and about 1mm too short (which doesn't make sense because it isn't a semi-auto)...so who knows for sure what the real reason is. Maybe this one will be ok because it is a shotgun? Maybe not because of the action type?

It is a handgun plain and simple.
Just like adding a stock, and a long barrel to a glock, or 1911 doesn't make it non restricted, neither does it work here.
Pretty simple stuff.......
Now if this gun does use a completely different frame, that is not marketed anywhere as a handgun, then there is a chance it could be made NR.
That said this is the RCMP we are talking about, and they look for any excuse they can to make it restricted so I wouldn't bet on it.
Just wondering of the fact it is a gauge not a caliper would that make a difference. Unlike the 410.
She would be some hand gun if one considers a 28ga chamber is 0.626 inches rear and 0.614 front with a .550 bore
problem is they made a 28ga handgun its was not approved by the ATF no doubt this is the same frame
Understand but seriously what would one use a 28ga restricted hand gun for??
Shooting ruffies that fly onto the gun range...![]()
