They're a fun range item as a talking point but they're not very pleasant to actually shoot (lots of gas).

28

u/Parking_Media May 27 '26

Super fun for a round of skeet and a laugh

Cylinder gap makes it obnoxious to actually use.

u/FearlessDevil666 May 27 '26

This is definitely the big issue with them. No true gas shield and the cylinder blow by sucks. Big loss on muzzle velocity for both the .45LC and .410ga. A buddy has one and it’s just for fun in a gravel pit. Just make sure to wear some safety glasses and long sleeves. Also watch your hand placement.

For hunting I’ll stick with my Marlin 1895 in 45/70. Fits a .410ga just fine. Plus for hunting purposes the .45LC is underpowered for anything more than a defender with a short barrel. I have a Rossi Ranch Hand in .45LC and carry it as a compact defender when out bow hunting and general backcountry hiking. But I’d never try to harvest a deer with it, let alone shoot anything at a distance.

All in all, great for a gravel pit/range plinker for those with money to burn. But if you’re looking for a firearm with purpose, there are much better options.

If you really want to double your rifles use, check out the “Hammond Game Getter”. Uses a die to size buck shot and .22blanks in a machined cartridge for your rifle. I have one for my 30-06 and .243win. Great for taking small game and birds while out hunting.

Did you try putting a bit of hubba bubba between the cylinder and barrel?

1

u/GordoBlue May 27 '26

Ya. Seems dangerous.

7

u/Parking_Media May 27 '26

I hope it's dangerous it's a fuckin gun.

Jokes aside, it's no more dangerous than any other revolver, just that most Canadians don't have revolver experience.

u/Katamori777 May 27 '26

Tbf, it's way easier to stay clear of the cylinder gap on an handgun than a rifle configuration.

u/Parking_Media May 27 '26

That is an important point, good call.

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

I have a few tips to make the gas much more tolerable if you'd like?

6

u/Livid_sumo May 27 '26

Goooooo oooonnnnn

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

Tip 1:  Get one with blast  shields.

Tip 2: remove the right blast shield and keep  the left one on! This makes it easier for gas to vent out the right side, away from your face.

Tip 3: Extend the stock as far as you can back, and consider a stock extension or leather buttwrap with an extension. Every inch further away from your face helps. If you are like me and bought an early edition Short buttstock short length of pull version, you really REALLY need an extension to get it away from your face.

Tip 4: get a reddot.   Using  irons on these suck because to use the irons you gotta get up and close and personal with the gun, putting your face right up close to the gas. These models with the flip up sights are a little better, as the flip up peep you can actually use with your face a healthy bit away from the gun, plus they are raised up a bit, bringing your face further away from the gun.   But a Bead sight or notch and post irons??? Forget about it, those will have your face right into the gas.

With these 4 tips, my gun has become much much much more fun to shoot.

u/shiddedandfarded69 May 27 '26

Which ones come with blast shields? I would love to get a blast shield for my SR410. That fucker burned my cheek last time I used it.

1

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

Your sr410 should have them! Mine does!  They are the things on the side of the cylinder! Try removing the right side one!

Unless you got some used sr410 where they removed the shields or some older version?

My sr410 really was helped by a stock extension and a red dot though.  You gotta lean in so close to use the bead sight.... it was terrible.  Much better now

25

u/vARROWHEAD May 26 '26

I personally don’t want one. But all power to people that doo

6

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR May 27 '26

Yeah... and $900 bucks... holy crap

11

u/vARROWHEAD May 27 '26

And that’s just for a case of .410! /s

2

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR May 27 '26

🤣 yeah... theyre not cheap

28

u/msdtyu May 26 '26

I think its cool but $900 is kind of steep

17

u/DryF1re May 26 '26

what other novelty firearm are you buying for less than $900 these days?

12

u/Nice-Background890 May 27 '26

I got the weird folding semi auto from TI for 500$

6

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

Oh how you you like it??

I've been eyeing those up, a semi auto that folds up nice and small. Plus I love TI's lifetime warranty, makes me feel better risking buying a Turkish gun when I know warranty will have my back

5

u/Nice-Background890 May 27 '26 edited May 27 '26

It doesn't fold that small at all, the gun is heavy af, and I'm still waiting for the spare parts I ordered with it since December..

Haven't shot it yet sadly.

7

u/TheSockington May 27 '26

It’s true. That new Derya pump 9mm is over $900 with taxes involved

u/Geralt-of-Rivai May 27 '26

Sulun SS 211

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR May 27 '26

I got an s-tactical shotgun.. kinda the same idea, for $500. Its fun, but also kinda useless.

u/NeruLight May 28 '26

I’ve got a trailhand and the recoil is absolutely brutal for me lol .. even mini slugs are wild .. I can’t imagine a 3” shell out of a shorty shotgun. I’ve got a 12GA 45-70 adapter I’m too scared to even try

1

u/NIBLZ_HAMSTR May 27 '26

Super steep... for that, especially

13

u/Slow-Register-3836 May 26 '26

Probably. Mostly because of limited selection for our market and they aren't crazy expensive. With that said if we had available what we had before treudau I dont think many people would give these a second look.

13

u/Scary-Detail-3206 May 26 '26

I bought the non tactical 9” version from TI because it can also shoot 45 ACP. It’s a pain to load 45 ACP though, cuz it takes these little “moon clips” to hold the cartridges in the cylinder. 45 LC shoots great though and it’s actually surprisingly accurate with the red dot I mounted on it.

After about 150 rounds through it I’m happy enough with my purchase. It won’t be a high volume workhorse, but it’s the closest I’ll get to a NR revolver.

2

u/Bitter_Lettuce2970 May 27 '26

That’s interesting! Accuracy was my main concern with the long cylinder.

u/Necessary_Island_425 May 27 '26

In case of grouse home invasion?

u/Grouchy-Lemon2350 May 27 '26

All these mini shotguns and tactical revolvers are non-restricted but 22lr plinking pistols are illegal. Make it make sense.

u/4r4nd0mninj4 May 27 '26

You expect Liberal logic to make sense?

6

u/FrankDodger May 26 '26

I own one. Its great!

5

u/Brandon_awarea May 27 '26

I saw one being sold in a store about a week ago. I didn’t know they could take .45LC but knowing that I could see myself maybe getting the bottom rifle. I’d rather more wood though

2

u/NeruLight May 27 '26

I didn’t even see the .45 colt at first lol.. imagine listing .410 first haha

u/Carnivorous-Dan May 27 '26

They need to come with a “Mind the gap” sticker

u/NeruLight May 27 '26 edited May 27 '26

I managed to get powder on my arm last weekend lol. Both guards on

3

u/Why_Am_I_Here_1999 May 27 '26

I want them to make one in .45-70

2

u/Natas29A May 26 '26

I want one!

2

u/jmz-jmz May 26 '26

Looks fun, I probably won’t buy one. At least not anytime soon, other stuff on the list I would rather have first

2

u/NeruLight May 26 '26

I’ve got an SR-45 and I can shoot .38 special out of it. I can shoot 8 calibers in fact. 😎 .45 colt really does blast too. (I like the revolver format). It’s good for me because it feels robust enough.

3

u/HappyCan7250 May 27 '26

How can you shoot 38 spl in a gun chambered for 45LC? A 410 to 38 adapter? I assume the velocity and accuracy is probably not great? 

Not trying to sound condescending there, just genuinely curious how you're shooting 38spl in these

2

u/NeruLight May 27 '26

The shooters box .45 colt adapters. I’ve got .38 special , 9mm and .22LR/L/S (sets of 5)

2

u/NeruLight May 27 '26

It’s really pleasant to shoot .38 special. All single action to minimize the potential for light strikes (this is the worst problem with my setup, and it could be the gun). The accuracy is not great but I’m only shooting indoors at the moment. I have like 17 different 12GA adapters as well and depending on the caliber the keyholing with shooters box adapters can be real bad lol

3

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

Wait, 38 special? How does that work?

1

u/NeruLight May 27 '26

I shot a 50 box of federal .38 for the soft primers and had one or two light strikes. Not much keyholing at 5-10 yards kind of thing lol

3

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

They just fit in the cylinder?? Or are you using an adaptor or something?   I'm assuming the smaller round doesn't touch the rifling  at  all

Edit also, what are all 8 calibers???

410 45 acp 45 colt  38 special?

2

u/NeruLight May 27 '26

Yeah you eject them like shells and then tap out the casings. It’s not very convenient and it’s grubby but I actually have fun doing that kind of thing lol I’m a noob. .45 colt, .45 ACP, .410 + .38 special, 9mm, .22LR/L/S. Moonclips are also a bit grubby to use

2

u/One_Salary_9068 May 27 '26

Ok my rs-410 just lost some value 😵‍💫

2

u/Natural_Comparison21 May 27 '26

If I had 45 long colt money sure.

u/Mosquitoisland May 27 '26

Mine shipped today ! Thursday delivery !

u/BigoteMexicano May 27 '26

I don't know how well it'll sell. But revolver carbines are objectively cool, yes.

2

u/Barbarian_818 May 27 '26

I'm reminded of r/weirdwheels where a common source of automotive weirdness is trying to get around arbitrary restrictions.

2

u/FedInformant May 27 '26

I think they are sweet. Wish there wasnt so much has blowback

2

u/JBOYCE35239 May 27 '26

I would buy the wood grain model on the bottom TODAY

2

u/Iokua_CDN May 27 '26

I hope they do!  I've heard rumors about a 357 version too.

I have a classic old 410 only version. It's an absolute blast even if ammo is expensive. For 700 bucks, it's a total blast and one of my most unique firearms.

There are some tips to minimize gas.  Make sure the stock is nice and long so it's further away from your face. Hopefully have a blast shield, and remove any blast shield on the right side so gas exists that way, and lastly, put an optic on it so that you can keep your face further back.  With  those 3 things, I find it plenty nice to shoot.

u/TopLemon3678 May 27 '26

BACK TEMPTRESS! I AM THE POORS AND CANNOT BE SEEING SUCH THINGS

u/grifter_shifterM5 May 27 '26

That’s kinda based

u/Salt_Tank_9101 May 27 '26

I don't think I would buy a revolver .410 ,bBut recently purchased a lever action .410 and love it.

2

u/under_hunter82376 May 27 '26

nice gun in my opinion . closest us Canadians will get to a actual revolver .

2

u/greekdude1821 on May 27 '26

Hope they bring the micro version. The scalpers on gunpost are being nuts with the prices.

3

u/Outrageous_Order_197 May 28 '26

It be sweet if they made rifled barrels. I can't imagine .45lc performs well out of a smooth bore.

1

u/NeruLight May 28 '26

They’re smooth bore? Well score one for the sulun Sr-45 then I guess. The flip side is that it sprays .410 shot

2

u/NoGrapefruit1213 May 28 '26

I really like the looks of them. Cool novelty if they offered them in differnt calibers like 357, 44 mag or something along those lines would be be interested in buying one but at $1 a round No thanks

2

u/Melodic-Street-8898 May 26 '26

Ohhhhh yeah,well atleast id buy em😂

u/cernegiant May 26 '26

Looks like fun.

u/RydNightwish May 27 '26

I'll certainly add it to my ongoing wish list but until the dust from october plus a SCC decision is made it will remain just that...a wish.

1

u/DryF1re May 27 '26

if this was a more common pistol calibre, id be interested

1

u/Freedom762x39mm May 27 '26

I would buy one for sure, probably the 410

1

u/Whispersfine May 27 '26

Ya I don’t know man. The gas blowing to your face is probably very unpleasant

1

u/takeme2thezoo May 27 '26

Very cool. But the thought of some kind of mishap happening that blows off my front hand scares me 😅

1

u/CWM0012 May 27 '26

Hell yes. I want one in the ling wood stock. Space pew

1

u/22GageEnthusiast May 27 '26

All of these revolver rifles/shotguns all have the same issue that the gas blowback make them annoying af to shoot. I just stay away from these but maybe one day I'll try one out for fun.

1

u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 May 27 '26

Anyone know what Canuck's revenue numbers are like these days? My guess is that they're making bank.

u/Meatball74redux May 27 '26

How does 45LC work in a smooth barrel?

u/Popfartshart May 27 '26

Holay molay that’s expensive

u/LeeFrann May 27 '26

These are overpriced and bad

1

u/Duckriders4r May 28 '26

u/Franksredsilverado May 28 '26

Look fun but the price of .410 is what's holding me back.
