Rossi Ranch Hand

[BigDogatPlay]

Also barrel length........

Actually no, the Circuit Judge is using an 18.5 inch barrel... at least according to the tech specs in American Rifleman.

As to the Ranch Hand.... of course it's a niche gun. It's not going to appeal to people whose interest rests in black guns and tacticool. It will be, I'd wager, a way hot item for a while with the SASS guys on the cool factor alone. And for older farts like me who can remember some of the old TV westerns in first run, it's kind of like a trip back to those thrilling days of yesteryear when guns were considered tools and not evil, blood spilling machines of death.

When we all had cap guns and BB guns and ran around like fools imitating our favorite western stars and nobody gave a rat's patootie.

Heck yeah I'd buy the Ranch Hand if I could. Of course, if I had my way and money to burn, I'd also buy one of these......

Another thing:

The Ranch Hand is one of the single most "touching the line" SBR type guns out there that you can legally have in California.

Damn right I want one. I mean two. I mean one in each of the three calibers

I want one SO bad.

And they don't look hard to shoot at all

Hmmm... looks like it is expected on shelves in the November / December timeframe. I guess I know what I'm asking Santa for Christmas. (I can see my wife shaking her head in disbelief right now).

both the judge and the ranch hand take existing ideas and make them function worse. The long throat in the judge makes it a very inaccurate 45 colt.

I like the paladin holster.. the gun.. or at least the grips are wrong tho.

I love revolvers and lever guns.. I don't even own one plastic gun or one pair of tactical underwear.. I don't even have a gun you can mount a searchlight on.

And.. I think both the judge and the mares leg concept are worthless and laughable. I had to suppress a snicker at a "judge" at the range missing the entire paper at 25 yards at the range.. I am pretty sure I would not be able to hold back watching some new "ranch hand" owner trying to use the sights on the gun.

To each their own.. But, I see no point in modifying a rifle into a pistol.
