I have a Rossi matched pair pistol.

Comes with .410/.45 and a .22 barrel for under $350.

The Rossi is not as pretty as the tc, but performs very well IMHO.
I really like the looks of one of these for the price. I'm wondering, about what does it weigh?

I just bought one at Cabelas for 299.. The trigger pull feels very good and I think it weighs about 4.5 lbs. Hope someone can tell me which holster would work best.

Not sure on the brass casing, that was a Googled photo of the BFR .410....As for price they are pricey...they will be $900+ new and I've never seen a used one offered for sale anywhere. It took me a long time to finally commit to buying one because they were so pricey but after buying one I can say I feel it's well worth the money and I wished I had bought one sooner.

heres a old video of the contender i shoot,i think the judge is a waste of time as a hunting weapon,the firestorm commanche is a pile of metal which has awful trigger pull and pee poor sight,the rossi isnt much better but is better than the commanche,i have shot them all,just my opinion,not bashing what others are using....the bfr is way over priced like the contenders are....i have recently gotton a single shot hr 20 gauge pardner in 18"barrel and i put a pistol grip on it,i have the range now of a actual shot gun,it takes some time to get used to aiming it,but its got more killing distance due to more shot....and its under 200 bucks.

i would be careful with that carbine barrel on a handgun,i think a carbine barrel has to measure a overall lenght of 26" or they will consider it a short barreled shotgun which needs a special permit.is it the 21" barrel

I had the barrel custom made by DA Horn of Arizona. It is legal.

This 28 gauge barrel is a lot lighter than the 14" 45/410 barrel also,

It's federal law that the barrel on a shotgun has to be 18" or the overall length has to be 26" if you put a pistol grip on it. Any shorter and you would need a class 3 weapons permit to own what would then be considered a "sawed off shotgun".

The only way the .45/.410 is legal is because of the rifling in the barrel and it is registered as a .45 long colt handgun.
