Also, the Rossi Trail Judge has been ended. Similar the the Ranch Hand from last years Shot Show, the Trail Judge, has a more formed shoulder stock that makes it look and is more usable as a long gun. Its a short barrel shotgun so the ATF said no. Too bad, it would be such a handy gun. Very few pics of gun...here's the only one that I found.
Banning the 28ga Raging Judge is dumb, the size of cartridge shouldn't matter. I'm not convinced of its usefulness though. I mean it's too unweildly as a personal defense weapon, and not particularily designed to be a hunting pistol.
ReplyDeleteThe Trail Judge does look like a lever action rifle and not like a pistol. Classifying it as a short barrel shotgun is probably accurate. However I do have beef with the 16" minimum regulation. I also have beef with the 200$ tax-stamp for AR-15s with short barrel and shoulder stock. Actually I have beef with lots of the BATF regulations!
