Is this odd, or is it me??

I'm not knocking Rossi, and their recent revolver based carbines.

But if you already have the trigger, and/or hammer, to rotate the cylinder, why would you need a lever??



I recently saw this on another forum, and thought it was Photoshopped, but its real. Photo is linked from Rossi's site.

I do give them credit for the 3" chamber. Unlike that Winchester 9410 that only took 2 1/2" shells.

I saw it in a shop. It was odd and I just don't see it.

Plus, I may be missing something, but it seems like the gas that comes out of the front of the cylinder when you shoot could burn your arm. School me if I'm wrong...

I am with you guys. Not my cup of tea.

I'll give them credit for trying something different, but it seems like they just invented a more complex 410 shotgun. It's like they started with a shotgun and decided it would be good to have a revolver version. Then they looked at the revolver and decided it would be good to have a shotgun version, forgetting that the shotgun is where they began.

Maybe there's a fun factor that I'm missing on this but it does not do it for me either.

Moon clips for the .45 ACP?

Who knows?! It was spotted at shot show. S&W is trying to divert Taurus funds their way. Crapola.

.410 handguns and carbines, the "it gun" of the decade because no one has any good ideas any more.

If you are bored, buy a Serbu, load it with buck, slugs and flares. Go shoot a gas can

Yep. Comes with 2, 6rd moon clips.

^Saw that on Gemtechs facebook seems to me they showed up about 5 years to late to that game. Plus I can only imagine how over priced it will be.

Back when this type of gun was first introduced, it was black powder and "chain fire" was a common occurance. Imagine 1 round going down the pipe and 5 more coming straight at your hand.
