Weight is about 5lbs.

Thanks everyone, my husband solved my problem with the Rossi circuit judge rifled revolver 44 mag. It's light, short, no kick, and accurate at 100 yds.

I believe ya...just seems very odd

[/I] That is great that you found something you like.

If you don't mind some unsolicited advice, keep your hands clear of the front of the revolving part when firing. The cylinder gap allows the cylinder to turn freely but also allows enough burning gas to escape to cause a very nasty burn (or worse) if your fingers are too close.

Here is a link to the Mythbusters test:

I love Mythbusters they can really kill chicken meat lol. Truely safety is very important but with the rifle I don't think it is as dangerous.

The nice thing about the circuit judge rifle is the blast shields in front of the cylinder. I linked a video so you all can see what it is. I had a very hard time finding reviews for it. So sorry the video is so lengthy.

The only complaint I have about it would be how loud it is and I were ear protection while practicing, ear plugs are not ideal when hunting. I don't mind that the trigger is heavy.

I know my brother has it in the 45/.410 and says it is not accurate at 50yds. I don't know what the difference is that makes it so much more accurate than the 45/.410. Maybe I'm just a better shot.

The 45/410 version has slow rifling so you can shoot fine shot out of.it. it has the same rifling as the judge handgun. My cousins judge shoots good groups with the 45lc at 15 to 25 yards. I would say the rifle.version should be good to 50 yards might want to try other brand ammo.

For Indiana legal weapons the handi-rifle in 44 magnum or 357 magnum would fit a lefty well. They are a break open single shot weapon. The ones I seen do not have iron sights so optics would be needed. Even with a scope it is still an economical buy. The .357 handi-rifle can be reamed to .357 maximum cheaply and easily if you reload. You could also find one in 12 gauge or 20 gauge as well.
