Raging Judge

While I also like the looks of this carbine, maybe we should think about this for a moment. Imagine you shoulder this carbine, pull the trigger with your right trigger finger while you are holding the forend with your left hand. Ok?

What's going to happen to your left wrist when burning powder shoots out of the cylinder to barrel gap? A 410 burn will be bad enough, but if the carbine is chambered for .454 C. it's going to burn like a cutting torch.

I have this feeling that unless this new revolving carbine is reworked with flash guards, etc., we will not be seeing it for sale anytime soon.

I had a revolving black powder carbine and if i held the end of the forend i never really got powder burn.

It does have a flash guard on the cylinder that prevents the flash from burning your arm.

Isn't .45 Colt kind of a large bore?

Also, are Rossi and Taurus owned by the same folks? Just curious why Rossi web site showing Taurus Judge.

By large bore i mean 30-30 or 45-70 somthing like that and i believe they are the same company

mesinge2 · 05-04-2010, 02:57 PM

It is a small bore shotgun caliber, small-to-middle range rifle caliber, and a large bore handgun caliber; interesting combination.

One of my shooting buddies bought the Circuit Judge right off the shelf this afternoon. I will get to try it on Saturday. It is a very odd looking thing, for sure.

Its cool __________________ It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze. The latest caliber or gear is no substitute for experience and skill.
