Built on Rossi’s proven Judge frame with an extended 18.5-inch barrel and full-length synthetic stock, the Circuit Judge provides increased sight radius, reduced recoil, and improved accuracy over its pistol counterpart.

Overview

The Rossi Circuit Judge 45 Colt / 410 Gauge Stainless Revolver Rifle is a hybrid design that combines a six-shot cylinder with a rifle-style stock and forend. The 18.5-inch barrel with ventilated rib and fiber optic front sight offers rapid target acquisition. The frame is machined from stainless steel, while the stock is constructed from durable black synthetic material with a soft rubber recoil pad. The cylinder accepts both .45 Colt cartridges and 2.5-inch or 3-inch .410 bore shells, allowing the shooter to switch between slug, buckshot, birdshot, or defensive loads without changing cylinders. The transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge, and the manual thumb safety adds an extra layer of security. This rossi circuit judge 45 colt / 410 gauge stainless revolver rifle weighs approximately 6.5 pounds, providing a balanced feel that reduces muzzle rise during rapid fire.
