Hi,
Just curious if anyone knows if or when the other calibers of Rossi's Circuit Judge carbines are going to be available - i.e., 22LR/Mag, .44 Mag, .28 gauge?
Thanks,
WHH
 
I'm having difficulty accessing their terrible websites, but off the top of my head, I recall there's a .22 lr/22 mag and a .44 mag.

Why? It's a solution in search of a problem.

Fine. You don't like their guns for whatever reason. And I'll even admit that the revolving shotguns are a little silly. But you don't need to spill your Haterade everywhere and clutter up a thread asking a simple question honestly asked with unhelpful replies.

Also, a lightweight .44 magnum carbine makes a hell of a lot of sense.

I know, I have a Handi rifle in this caliber... A revolving rifle makes no sense. It didn't in the 1860's and it's not any better now...

I hope that Rossi does well with this carbine, the calibers offered really doesn't interest me. I'd love to see it come out in .454 Casull, then you could shoot the .45 Colt and .410 as well. I would love to see a little more HP coming out of this carbine. However I still don't think it would have enough energy to be legal for big game hunting in Colorado.
 
If they take the .410 out of the equation then it might shoot OK. The long jump to the forcing cone you get from making room for the .410 shotgun round really screws up how it will shoot the .45 Colt or other rounds shoot. The longer .45 rounds you guys mention should already fit but may be too much pressure for the design.

It'll only be a hit if the price is right. If the .22 version sells for much more than a 10/.22 Ruger, then I don't think we'll see to many of them. If the offer it with a conversion cylinder to .22 mag, it would help sales...

I think it's a solution to a very real problem. Marlin and Winchester lever guns tend to be fussy about OAL and bullet type. If the accuracy of the 44 mag version is respectable I could see people using it as a bear gun. No need to work the lever and risk short stroking the action, just line up the sights and pull the trigger 6 times.

The reason revolving rifles made no sense in the 19th century was the comparatively large barrel/cylinder gaps and gas blow by from the caps made them unpleasant to shoot. By the time cartridge guns came around you had lever action guns and without a swing out cylinder revolving carbines were too slow to reload.

I plan on buying one of the 22 version once I find one.

I have a circuit judge and I love it. the only problem I have with it is the powder blast gets on the forend stock pretty bad when I shoot it. Any ideas on what I could put on the wood to protect it?
