2014 Shot Show: Rossi Circult Judge Revoler Carbine

[greentips]

We walked by the Rossi booth and came across these 18.5” bbl “Circuit Judge” revolver carbines in 44 mag and 410 ga. They are priced between 624 USD and 668 USD in MSRP, depending on the type of furniture. We think these are pretty neat.

Weren't these already offered in canada as restricted? !?!

 

[Cyanide Ride]

As a fan of the Metro 2033 books and game, these are undeniably cool!

 

[seth]

cool until you get cylinder gap spray shot into your forearms

 

[Obokash]

Too bad!!!! These are restricted in canada or else would've bought one by now

Absolutely agree: I would own a year ago if I could hunt with it!!! It is a pity they have not changed the design so that it is not restricted here... or in truth, our assh*le RCMP firearms inspectors/classifiers had brains.

I bought one a couple years back for the hell of it and cause I got a deal I couldn't refuse to buy it and matching judge. I would get great use out of it & would make an awesome bush gun. but like mentioned worthless as it's a restricted and have funner guns to take to the range

 

[Gunslinger]

Canada's gun laws are quite silly, keeping us safe they say.....

 

[Riven]

Ya a NR one in 45/410 is ideal for a bush gun. The only thing i would change is have it accept 454 Casull as well. The 45 is a little mild imo.

 

[Daver_II]

I like it, I would buy one if it were NR.

Just wondering. Why are they restricted?

So far my understanding... it's the revolving action Don't ask! I was speechless too

That is 100% true...Keeping us safe my A**! a 12ga semi-auto or a .45acp semi auto can do more damage than 5rd revolving action circuit judge.

the lab determined that the receiver is exactly the same as the pistols, so it is a just a variant of the pistol and not a rifle

Yup. It's considered a handgun with a 19 inch barrel and a shoulder stock added.

I consider it a draw though. They gave us the Ranch Hand non-restricted, which could have gone the other way.

I agree.

 

[pilot2001]

They are restricted because our RCMP restrict anything they can ...

DING DING DING - WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

We've been importing them for 2 years. CFC's exact phrasign was "once a pistol, always a pistol - gotta change the criminal code to make it different."
Sorry folks.

 

[MkivSupra]

rifle stocks on pistols, pistol grips on rifles, crazy world we live in

 

[SoLDneR]

But im wondering why they say its a revolver with 19 " barrel ? isnt the browning buckmark rifle is a pistol too ?(im not complaining about the buckmark being NR just questionning myself)
