Rossi Firearms has just released the Rossi Brawler, a new pistol chambered for the .45 LC (Long Colt) rimmed revolver cartridge or a .410 -bore shotshell. The Brawler is a single-shot, single-action pistol designed around a rear, breechloading break-action with a manually cocked hammer. The pistol also features a section of Picatinny rail to easily attach aftermarket accessories and optics to the gun. Ideal for the outdoors, it is well-suited to dispatching varmints or dangerous animals such as venomous snakes or it can also be simply used to plink and have fun out on your property.

The Brawler is not the first firearm that can take advantage of the fact that the .410-bore shotshell’s dimensions play well with the .45 Long Colt cartridge, which is a revolver cartridge dating back to the taming of the American West during the second half of the 19th century. .45LC was originally loaded with black powder and cast lead bullets during its heyday and is one of the most popular offerings in Colt’s iconic Single Action Army revolvers.
