I held one of those a few weeks ago, a very cool gun from Rossi.

 

[Joe S.]

I read a lot of people dismissing them as crappy guns but ya gotta hand it to em, they offer some unique designs and don't seem to be afraid to try something new. I can't wait for my ranch hand to get here!!

 

[jakeg823]

I messed with one at the last gunshow, it was pretty dang cool....just a judge with a stock and long barrel...literally. I would think in that platform it would live up to the judges potential moreso than even the judge

 

[sidroski]

Supposed to have one on the way, next thing is what am I gonna do with it. Mine's 38/357, be a little cheaper to shoot. That thing come with another lever, I ain't a fan of the big hoop John Wayne style.

 

[sidroski]

Ah hell, I thought ya'll was talking about the ranch hand. Aught to read more.

 

[Joe S.]

Haha. That's aight sid. I have a ranch hand comin too!

 

[mildot]

pretty cool, I would love to add both the ranch hand and the circuit judge to my stable. :thinking:

 

[Caleb C]

Very cool. I wish somebody would offer something like that in 45-70

pretty cool gun from Rossi

 

[rdj94a]

Has anyone shot one yet?

 

[nhstk02]

Very cool. I wish somebody would offer something like that in 45-70

That would be some firepower right there.

I know this is resurrecting an old thread, but in a recent NRA magazine, they mentioned a "trail judge." Similar to the circuit judge, but with a 12" barrel, lever action, and an overall length of 24.3 inches. The pic in the magazine is pretty sweet, but I can't seem to find any info on Rossi's site. Has anyone seen this in person, or was this just wishful thinking on Rossi's part.

 

[SilentHitz]

Looks like they decided not to make it...I woulda bought one.

[NotUndeadYet]

Your googlefingers outgoogled mine. Thankya.

 

[SilentHitz]

I got lucky, it was the 1st one on the list. LOL

 

[Doug Bowser]

Is the non-shooting arm or hand protected by the firearm in any way. cylinder gap gas could cause injury.

[SilentHitz]

In a lever action with a forearm? I must be missing something Doug. :scratch: Edit: My bad, forgot about the revolving model being the subject of the op. Looks like it could give you a nasty burn at that.

1. I believe that there is a shroud on the front of the cylinder which is (supposed) to protect the arm from blow-by.

2. I have read that the forcing cone on the Judge guns is so long, to accomodate the end of the .410 shotshell that .45 colt accuracy is very poor. (bullet seems to cant) Shouldn't be a problem with the .38/.357 though.

 

[Joe S.]

There is a plate that protects the arm Mr. Doug
