I rarely comment, only ever commenting once before on this channel. I bought a Rossi Brawler. This is one of those guns you say to yourself, I don't know what I would use it for, but then you get one and immediately like it and start finding all kinds of uses for it. First and foremost, it is built tough. I bought a Rossi 20 gauge single shot shot gun 20 some years ago and let a friend borrow it while squirrel hunting in Kentucky. After we were done, we unloaded our guns and he leaned it against my truck. I thought he had put it back in the truck and I drove away, backing over it and then going over it forward as we left the woods. We got a few miles down the road and he asked if I put the shotgun in the truck and I said no, thought you did. We went back I got it. Stock was a little marked up, took it to the local old gunsmith. He looked at it and said looks good to me, put a shell in it, took a shot a stump out back of his shop and said, it's fine. I still have that shotgun. The Brawler is built like that. It's easy to shoot and easy to clean and maintain and a hell of a lot of fun to shoot, both with 45 long colt and 410 shells. My friend, my son and I took it to the range and put a few boxes of both 410 and 45 LC through it. No issues with either. We used both 3 inch and 2 and a half inch shells. With 45 LC we found it to be pretty accurate at 30 yards. We were able to hit a 12 inch plate at 30 yards consistently with iron sites. We mounted a rather inexpensive reflex red dot on it and once sighted in the accuracy improved and we consistently hit a 9 inch plate. So, fun gun to shoot at the range aside, here at the practical applications for the Brawler. It's single shot, so it forces you to slow down and use the fundamentals of shooting, grip, site picture, breath control and trigger squeeze, greatly improving or solidifying your shooting skills. It's great to use to teach shooting with. Loaded with self defense shells, we were trying out Sellier and Bellot 410 self defense shells consisting of 15 smaller pellets and 2 double 00 buck shot pellets and shooting at distances of 6 to 12 feet, which are common self defense situation distances and we had great results on pattern and accuracy at those distances. So the Brawler can be an effective home defense gun as well. It's easily packable and would be great when hiking in the woods, carrying as an extra side arm on a long hunt, using as a camp gun when camping, and for taking care of nuisance or varmint animals when legal or necessary. (Think skunks, groundhogs, snakes, etc.) Truth is there are many uses for this gun. If you can think of more uses, please let me know. Best of all, its $250 or less brand new and their are a few companies out there making really nice holsters for them too. My 18 year old son doesn't share the same passion for shooting as I do, (unless it involves shooting on his video games) and every time I buy a new firearm and show him, I can usually see dollar signs in his eyes as he thinks, when Dad is gone I can get good money for his collection.......but after shooting the Brawler he looked at me for the first time and said Dad, I'm keeping this one, I like it. I said, son I don't plan on going anytime soon so go get your own Brawler dammit. In conclusion, I have dozens of firearms, some hand guns in the $1,000-$2,000 range. I buy and sell and try new stuff out because I just like to shoot. (20 plus years as a soldier and 16 years and counting as a Deputy sheriff) I am a shooter not a collector, but I aint never parting with my Brawler. It is just that much fun and plenty useful. Good review Al !!!
How’s it going my friend? The little browser. It is a blast to shoot that’s for sure. My son and I. We call it the little hand cannon. And with the 45 colt. It’s pretty accurate. At 50 and 60 yards. We can both half gallon milk jugs. Just about every shot. That is of a steady rest I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful night and a great weekend. 👍👍👍👍👍
That’s awesome. I have got to check those out. Thanks for the info, my friend. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
A great re-review of this hog leg ... it seems that most of your viewers think it's more for snakes ... at least when shooting shot shells. I think a snake out to 20-25 feet would be dead on delivery. The .45 LC shot quite nicely. A good day for having some fun.
Thank you my friend. It’s surprisingly accurate with the 45 long colt. After putting this optic on can’t wait to give this a try out about 50 to 100 yards. I think it’s going to do pretty good. Having some severe thunderstorms. And high wind. Getting the second round. I can hear the thunder rumbling. And the rain is really coming down. Hopefully this will pass soon. You take care of my friends. And have a most wonderful weekend. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍
Good morning my friend. I’m going to give this a try soon as possible. I think it’s going to do pretty good. It seems to be decently accurate with the red dot optic. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Good shooting, Al! The 45 Colt is doing great. I think the .410 capability is more a novelty. It would be devastating up close, but this ain't no squirrel gun. 😂😂
After putting a optic on this one. It was surprisingly accurate I would like to give it a try at them longer distance shot but you’re right the 410 is nothing to write home about😂😂😂. It would probably be good for snakes and up close and personal. Defense. It does pretty good with the the critical defense around by Hornady. But someone said you don’t post to use those in this firearm for some reason. But I can’t see why not. I’m going to contact the factory. And get some more information on this. You take care and have a wonderful night my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍👍
I've never seen a backstop setup like you got, that's pretty darn nice. Excellent high contrast, and I like how even the border is highlighted. I might make something similar.
Thank you I appreciate that. The border, gives you an outline and seems to enhance your target. Would you get yours Range finished send me some pictures I would love to see it I think it would be my friend you take care and have a wonderful day and a great weekend sorry it took so long to get back to you running way behind👍👍👍👍👍👍
My wife just got one I think I am gonna add the truglo 2x 30 red dot we really got it so she could have her own deer gun for ohios very short firearm deer season, and we are also gonna try it with #4 shot for squirrels over a dog Great video as always thank you good sir
Thank you, my good friend. These are a blast to shoot that for sure. If you get a chance to pick one up. And give it a try. Let me know how you like it. I would love to hear from you my friend. You take care and have a most wonderful night. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you my friend. It’s definitely a blast to shoot. It’s something a little different. You take care and have a wonderful weekend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the demo. I take back part of what I thought about it. It showed up well with the 45LC. I think I will save my money... unless a double hits the market. Now, the Bond Derringer sings a different tune with some buck shot and I expect this would too.
You are most welcome my friend. Running way behind trying to catch up. I would like to see this come out and I double barrel also. That would be a little different. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you watching👍👍👍👍👍
How’s it going my friend? This seems to be working pretty good. I really enjoyed shooting this little hand cannon. It’s a blast. How are you? Take care of my friend and have a wonderful night. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
That’s about it. I was hoping with the optic where I could adjust the pattern. It would do a whole lot better. But it is super accurate with the 45 long colt. I’m going to give it a try it about 50 and 100 yards. Just to see how it’s going to hold up. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. Always appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
That’s awesome. I’m glad you like it my friend. They definitely help with the accuracy. I think you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Thank You for the great video. If it were a double barrel that I could simultaneously load one side for Bear and one side for venomous snakes and have a red dot, I would buy one in a minute.
The rifled barrel will give you a donut pattern with the 410. It spins the shot outward, away from the middle. Still makes a good short range snake gun. Good video. Maybe try shooting the 410 closer until you get a better pattern. The TC Contender barrels could be had with a choke to stop the spin.
That’s exactly what this one’s doing. Everything’s going outward around the target. Not much thing to the center. But the 45 long colt are surprisingly accurate. Thanks for the info, my friend. You take care and have a great weekend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍🎯🎯💥
I have already spoken to my gunsmith and secured a set of circuit judge tubes he thinks that there is enough steel there to drill and tap it for them 😊 of course now I have taken what was a budget gun and put it in the $600 range
This was a fun update, Al. It would seem that the short barrel just patterned the 410 rounds out so big that they just didn’t print out from 15-20 yards. What a fun gun to play with! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
The optic really helped with the 45 long colt. But not so much with the. 410 gauge. I think it’s because of the rifling. Would be good for snakes. At about 5 to 10 yards. But it’s definitely a blast to shoot. Now you take care and have a great weekend my friend. The weather is getting rough here this morning. Some severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. With a lot of wind. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍🎯💥
Thank you my friend. It seems to be doing pretty good with the red dot optic. Would like to give it a try at a longer distance. Maybe 50. 75 to 100 yard. Just to see what is capable of. I want to thank you for watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful night.👍👍👍👍
Al shot shells never shoot well in rifled barrels due to the cylindrical force caused by the rifling which causes the shot to spread out much more rapidly than a smooth bore barrel.
I heard that my friend. 45 long colt does pretty decent. It seems to be pretty accurate. But it’s never good. Shooting buckshot through a rifled barrel Thanks for the info my friend. You take care and have a great weekend. I really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
Right and where there no choke keeping the shot together like a typical shotgun. It's going to do it's best work with buck shot up close 10 yards and in..
Same concept as too tight constricting choke. Turkey chokes work great with turkey loads, not so much #8. It forces the bb together causing them to bounce off each other making an erratic pattern
Thank you my friend. Would make a good snake gun. And that’s pretty good with the 45 long colt. you have a wonderful weekend my friend I really appreciate you watching👍👍👍👍
I just picked one up myself and had a fun idea for it. Ive got a couple boxes of the X Ring 45 cal rubber bullets, and you load them into 45 Colt cases with just a primer for a nice little reusable gallery load. I just need to make a target holder / catch box for the bullets.
That’s awesome. These are pretty neat. Little single shot pistol. It’s something you can take out to the range and have some fun with. I want to thank you for watching you take care and have a wonderful day👍👍👍👍👍
That’s what I was going to do but this one was shooting way to the lift and low and with these fixed sights there’s not really any way to adjust it. Hopefully they will come out with a set of adjustable sights. That would be nice. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAlbig optic didn’t work out to well, ended up purchasing the TruGlo pistol red dot PSA had on sale. Haven’t shot with it yet but I think it’ll work much better, and it looks pretty good with it on there.
Gotta say, Loved the video. I have found through my testing so far it just loves the 45LC. Have not tried rifled slugs though. I’m assuming similar results. They are just hard to find here. I found a red dot to be the ticket with this gun. Also recommend taking the picatinny off and using some loctite on it first. I’ve had great luck out to 50 yards 100 has been a bit of a challenge but not undoable. Great little gun in my opinion.
This one is pretty good with a rifle slugs. Not so good with the buckshots. But not really that bad considering the short barrel. I think you for watching my friend. you take care and have a wonderful night👍👍👍👍👍
Actually, did pretty good with federal Winchesters. And I had a few mixed rounds not for sure exactly what they were. But they all seem to shoot pretty accurate out of the little pistol. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a great evening my friend.👍👍👍👍👍
It’s really hard in this area to get any kind of shotshells for slugs. For the 410 gauge Hopefully these will come back on the market soon. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍
Thank you my friend this is a portable rest made by Herter’s come in handy when you’re going to the range. And there’s not any place to shoot. This will fold right up. With carrying handles. And fit right in the trunk of a car. Or truck. It is fully adjustable. For rifle pistols another firearms. And for me I’m really glad I picked this one up. These run around 199 bucks. And I have seen them cheaper. They are super sturdy. And comfortable to shoot off of. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a most wonderful night. 👍👍👍👍
I love mine, had it for about 2 weeks now , ive fired about 3 .410 2 3/4 and around 4 .410 3in . 2 slugs , and one 45lc . The 3in give the most kick. The 45 LC shoots smooth and accurate so far. I mounted my SIG ROMEO5 on it. I want to try some shots at 40 and 50 yards , mabey today . Id love to get it sighted in at 50 yards and mabey even take it on my elk hunt this year. I will be taking it coyote hunting also. These pistols just came out and i had to get one, just had to . 😊
hello friend, as a reloader of 44years I've learned to at times to experiment and improvise. I bought my rossi brawler a week ago thinking while waiting for my brass to get here I would try 45acp and it worked wonderfully. to make it work I went to local harbor freight and bought a 225 peace pack / box of nitrile metric o- ring assortment. it has 18 sizes. I used sizes ps 7.9x2.4mm ,fo106 8x2mm , p9 8.8.8x1.9. I shot 24rounds and all worked flawlessly and accurately but one stuck I think using size ps 7.8x1.9 which got behind the extractor. tip of pocket knife got it out easy. haven't shot 410 yet. I love the idea of shooting 410/45acp/ 45colt .the way ammunition is today that's a big plus in my book. it will be a little harder to shut the action. I'm about deaf in both ears and can barely hear the action shut so after shutting action I doubt check its shut.papa wishing you well. 😊
I bought one over the weekend and have been pleased with it so far. I have 3 inch shot and Fort Scott Munitions 45 Long Colt 225gr TUI ammo out of it. I would like to try and take a deer with it this year. I think an optic would be a nice addition to mine as well. I am going to try some 000 buck next.
That’s awesome. I was thinking the same thing. About taking this one deer hunting I don’t think it would be any problem. It would do the job. It did pretty decent with the 000 buckshot. At least it 15 yards. But not so good with the rifle slung. Someone said those are not recommended. But I don’t know why I’m going to contact the company. To see why these cannot be used. I think you were watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day. And a great weekend.👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely made a big difference. Especially with the 45 long colt. You take care and have a wonderful evening my friend. Sorry, it took so long to get back to you running way behind. 👍👍👍👍
It did a whole lot better than I actually would have thought but not so good with the buckshot can’t wait to give this a try at about 50 to 100 yards. Just to see how it will hold up. Take care. And Have a great weekend my friend. 👍👍👍👍
Does good with the 45 Colt & might with 410 slug load. Could be just me but it looked like with shotshells a lot of shot was hitting in front of target. Rifling may be causing it to spin downward. I think it's a neat little pistol. Try it on some hand tossed/slow clay pigeons. 👍💥
Seem to do pretty good with a 45 long colt. But with the shot shield not so good. After the video. I put up a cardboard box. Diameter, 4 feet by 4 foot at 15 yards aiming dead center of the target. Hardly anything in the center of the target. But all the way around it. Was peppered pretty good. It’s almost like the Rifling. Is causing a hole. In the pattern. Go figure. Take care my friend. Having some bad thunderstorms down here this evening. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍
I kinda wonder if they could do some engineering on the shotgun shells perhaps as simple as tefloning the inner wall of the shell and the outer surface of the shotwad so that there would be reduced friction so the wad would tend to inactivity just a thought
That would be nice. It does pretty good with the 45 colt. Hopefully the GEN two. They might improve it. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a great evening.👍👍👍👍
I’ve only shot mine a half dozen shots or so but I love it. Like a lot of people say I think it will be a heck of a snake gun. Sometimes it’s nice just to have a fun gun they aren’t the most accurate but I didn’t buy it for accuracy I bought it for fun and it fills those shoes really nicely
I heard that my friend they are a blast to shoot that’s for sure. Sorry it took so long to get back to you my friend running way behind. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the video. It looked to me like you were shooting low with the shot shells. I would like to see how it shoots with a slug. The rifled barrel sgould make it shoot good. But I am not sure it is doing anything for the shot shells. Maybe try aiming higher will help with them. Just a guess. Thanks again. ☺🇺🇸
I think the optic really help with the 45 long colt. But not with the shotshells. And reviewing the video. It was doing a donut effect. It was shooting all around the target. I would say due to the rifling. About 5 to 7 yards. Is tops with the shotshells. Take care and have a wonderful evening my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Great follow up vid Al. The Rossi Brawler (in my opinion) has the same real world, effective range as the Taurus judge. With anything besides 45lc, the effective range, whether shot, buckshot etc is no greater than about ten yards. And that's pushing it! In my opinion. (Smile) If you want to shoot longer distances... 45lc is definitely the way to go. But for the closest thing you can get to a shot barrel shotgun that fits in the palm of your hand... I'm loving it! (Smile) Stay safe and healthy. Peace One more thing. How's that red dot holding up? I'm considering getting one myself for my Brawler.
I have been using these Tasco Propoint for many of years on 12 gauge shotguns high-powered rifles without any issues whatsoever and will hold up to a 3 inch, 12 gauge magnum Recoil with no problem You can pick these up at Walmart for real 40 bucks. I will fit on the 3/8 done till. Or the Picatinny rail or Weaver style mounts and work great on this little hand cannon😀. I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care. Have a great weekend. 👍👍👍👍👍🎯🎯
@@TheWalkWithAl Thanks brother. I'll have to look into that optic. A good, reliable, inexpensive optic for about $40... What's not to love. Lol! I want you to know that I appreciate your work and really like your down to earth approach during your reviews. Great job! Keep doing what you do. (Smile) Stay safe and healthy. Peace
That would be interesting to find out. I’ll put that down for a review. I want to thank you for watching my friend. Take care and have a great evening.👍👍👍👍
Most certainly. With a good the right ammunition. And within 50 yards. Would be no problem. 45 as a pretty powerful little round. I hope this helps in someway. I think you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍👍
I heard that my friend. Not too bad with the 45 colt? But with the shotshells about 8 yards of Max. But it’s still pretty neat Little single shot pistol. Especially for the money. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day. And a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
Not really, for the 410 but it sure helps with the accuracy of the 45 long colt and for me that’s what I’m going to be mostly shooting out of this one. Because of the rifled barrel. Doesn’t do well with the 410. But as a blast to shoot shoot. Now you take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍💥💥💥
Yes, the way the rifling is on this one. You’ve got to be pretty closed. But does pretty good with the 45 colt. I thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍
I think this gun will do well with buck shot and .45lc but I think since it’s fully rifled you can probably develop sabot slug loads for the .410 using .45 cal muzzle loader sabots used for shooting like .30 caliber rifle bullets.
It actually does pretty well with a rifle slugs. And critical defense Rounds. But not so good with regular buckshot. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍👍
The optic really helped with the 45 long colt. Actually, surprisingly accurate. I’ve got to give this a try. At about 50. And 100 yards. Just to actually see how far it will hold up. You take care and have a great weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍👍
My brawler is effective with 410 max to 15 yards using bird shot, but 10 yards is better. I haven’t shot 45 colt yet. As I said in your last video, I wish they’d have added a choke to stop the wad from spinning. Great video!
Thanks for the info, my friend. I do wish they would fix that problem also with adding additional choke. To help with 410 ammo. Hopefully that something they will improve in the future. But still a fun little single shot pistol that shoots. I think you for watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful evening👍👍👍👍👍
How’s it going hillbilly. I’m running way behind brother. I think I got a few of those laying around. I have to give those to try and find out. You take care and have a wonderful evening, my friend it’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
No, I don’t think it would be possible. It just doesn’t have enough range. You would have to be probably 10 yard or less. And you would want to use number four or five shot I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍
Not very accurate with the 410 gauge shotshells but it’s surprisingly accurate with the 45 long colt. This optic really helped with the grouping of the shots. I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
Also I have a question I have tried three different red dots on that thing and I can't get any of them to go low enough to wear the bore sighting says it is supposed to be at did you have any problems sighting in the
No, I didn’t have any problems on this one. It kind of sounds like your mouth might not be not exactly lined up. But you said you was having trouble with the elevation can’t get it down low enough I don’t understand that I have put two different optics on this one with no issues Let me know if you get that worked out I want thank you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful evening 👍👍👍👍👍👍 PS. You might want to try a small shim. Under the front or the back. It don’t take much. I usually use a piece of aluminum Popcan
How many shots did it take you to zero your red dot? It took me 1/2 box of ammo to get the bullseye on my new sig p320 max and still only had two bullseye shots.
I think three shots. I use a old method? But works pretty good. get you a big piece of cardboard. Put you a mark in the center of the cardboard then go ahead and take your first shot holding dead center. No matter where the projectile hits. Then just simply. Pull back to dead center again. And make sure you got your gun secure I have gun vice that works pretty good. Then click over to the shot you made in the cardboard. This should put you dead center This is old school. .but Usually is a one shot zero method. Give this a try. It works pretty good. I thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend 👍👍👍👍.
Yes, I’ve tried 7 1/2 number 8,9 and number six shot. And it seems to do pretty good with the critical defense rounds. I really appreciate you watching. You take care and have a great day my friend. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hickok45 and I both shoot the Brawler just fine with the iron sights. Sorry about your luck.The rifled barrel is why your buckshot spreads like a good rumor. It has to be rifled to be legal.
@@TheWalkWithAl If you knew what your were doing, you'd know to use #00 or #000 rounds with all the pellets loaded in a straight line in a shot cup. When they get spun it only adds stability because all the pellets are centered When you have smaller pellets in stacks they get slung to the outside. Follow? Have the kind of day you deserve!
Unlike my Super Comanche, which has a Modified choke for the .410 shell, I can see the Rossi not shooting shot shells too well. However Slugs should do alright.
It doesn’t do very well with the shot shells. But you’re right it does do good with slugs. And the 45 colt. I want to thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍
No problem with wild hogs. But I don’t know about the plus P ammunition. I’ll check into that and see what they say. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Proper trigger finger placement is what dropped your shot low and left. Center of the tip of your finger, that shot was on the very tip. If you shoot high and right it’s because you were back at the knuckle of your first digit. Finger placement is the most important thing about a trigger and we’ll throw your shot off. That was not a pull, that was a push, for a right handed shooter pull is high and right, push is low and left
The 45 long colt does pretty good but the 410 not so good. I don’t think they did a lot testing with this one. But would make a good all-terrain vehicle or truck gun maybe. You take care and have a great day my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
I’m sure they are fun to own and shoot and I’m sure some day I will own one of these but I just don’t think these multi caliber guns can shoot all of the caliber’s accurately.
I think you’re right about that my friend. It’s hard to chew two different projectiles. Out of the same gun. Especially when they’re so different. I think you for what you my friend. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
That would definitely be all right. It would be something that I would purchase for sure. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl I wanted one of these the second I saw it. I like the idea of owning a 45LC/.410 as a novelty, and I would definitely sacrifice 3 usable shots (Judge is a 5 shot and I don't carry one under the hammer) just for the longer barrel, let alone the price point. Further still, I think of the Raging Judge in 454/45/410 and I picture this as more than just a plinker if it fired a little hotter cartridge. Thanks for sharing your videos, i really enjoyed this one and I am gonna go back and watch some of the others now
best ammo I found that gave me 2in groups at 50yds was Hornady lever action 225gr .At 30yrs 1 in groups .Hope this helps someone. I really like my rossi 45/410
Thanks for the info on that my friend. I’ll try to find them and give them a try. I’m running way behind trying to get caught up. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you wy my friend.👍👍👍👍
Did you change the thing that screws into the barrel? One is for 45 colt the other is for 410 bore. If you didn’t that is what’s messing up you shotgun shells
The Rossi brawler doesn’t have those changeable inserts like the super Comanche does but I wish they did That would give you some accuracy with the shotshells. Hopefully they will come up with something soon for this one. Thanks for the info though. I really appreciate it. You take care and have a great day my friend.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, the super Comanche does better with shotshells. It does hold a pretty good pattern out to 20 yards. The Rossi. Brawler 10 yards or list. But with the 45 colt. A pretty equal matchup. I want to thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
My contenders shoot better groups than that at 100 yards. As usual with these 45/410 combination guns, by trying to make it do everything, they have made it shit at everything. Would be a great gun if it was just a 45 colt, or if it was just a 410 shotgun. They can't legally make it a smoothbore shotgun because the NFA would classify a smooth bore handgun as an "any other weopon" and require a tax stamp. What they should do to make it really functional as a shotgun is put a very long rifling twist in it, like 1:200" or something like that. That way it wouldn't make donut patterns with birdshot.
I heard that my friend. With this one, I’m going to stick with the 45 colt it seem to be pretty accurate with those. You take care and have a great evening. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍👍
Believe it or not, I’ve been using this for years. With great success. I have had this optical on Shotgun and Hi-powered Rifles. Just to see how it would hold up. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money. And you’re on a budget. This will work for you. And it will hold up to 3 inch magnums 12 gauge recoil. With no problem. I have been using this one for over 10 years because it will fit anything from a 22 rifle 3/8 Picatinny rail and Weaver style also And I think you for watching. You take care and have a most wonderful day.👍👍👍
I was noticing that also. After reviewing the video. I actually tried to correct this by sitting it in about an inch high. With the 45 colt. But still is shooting low. Even at 30 yards. I’m going to try optic with yardage reticles. That way I can simply set it in dead on with the 45 colt. And use the other reticles. For the 410 shotshells. I really appreciate you watching my friend. And I thank you for the info you provided. You take care and have a most wonderful day. 👍👍👍👍
You know, shooting #6 shot out of a short rifled barrel at 45' and expecting anything but failure tells me you are a bit of a shotgun poser. With a .410 rifled barrel you have two choices of shotshell: slugs and #00 or larger buckshot. Learn, then teach.
this gun is a pistol. it is made to shoot about the same distance as you would shoot your glock 9mm. this gun was not made to shoot past 10 - 15 yards. Im going to build a 12 guage like it but it will require a tax stamp but it will be 4 times the gun this 410 is.
I rarely comment, only ever commenting once before on this channel. I bought a Rossi Brawler. This is one of those guns you say to yourself, I don't know what I would use it for, but then you get one and immediately like it and start finding all kinds of uses for it. First and foremost, it is built tough. I bought a Rossi 20 gauge single shot shot gun 20 some years ago and let a friend borrow it while squirrel hunting in Kentucky. After we were done, we unloaded our guns and he leaned it against my truck. I thought he had put it back in the truck and I drove away, backing over it and then going over it forward as we left the woods. We got a few miles down the road and he asked if I put the shotgun in the truck and I said no, thought you did. We went back I got it. Stock was a little marked up, took it to the local old gunsmith. He looked at it and said looks good to me, put a shell in it, took a shot a stump out back of his shop and said, it's fine. I still have that shotgun. The Brawler is built like that. It's easy to shoot and easy to clean and maintain and a hell of a lot of fun to shoot, both with 45 long colt and 410 shells. My friend, my son and I took it to the range and put a few boxes of both 410 and 45 LC through it. No issues with either. We used both 3 inch and 2 and a half inch shells. With 45 LC we found it to be pretty accurate at 30 yards. We were able to hit a 12 inch plate at 30 yards consistently with iron sites. We mounted a rather inexpensive reflex red dot on it and once sighted in the accuracy improved and we consistently hit a 9 inch plate. So, fun gun to shoot at the range aside, here at the practical applications for the Brawler. It's single shot, so it forces you to slow down and use the fundamentals of shooting, grip, site picture, breath control and trigger squeeze, greatly improving or solidifying your shooting skills. It's great to use to teach shooting with. Loaded with self defense shells, we were trying out Sellier and Bellot 410 self defense shells consisting of 15 smaller pellets and 2 double 00 buck shot pellets and shooting at distances of 6 to 12 feet, which are common self defense situation distances and we had great results on pattern and accuracy at those distances. So the Brawler can be an effective home defense gun as well. It's easily packable and would be great when hiking in the woods, carrying as an extra side arm on a long hunt, using as a camp gun when camping, and for taking care of nuisance or varmint animals when legal or necessary. (Think skunks, groundhogs, snakes, etc.) Truth is there are many uses for this gun. If you can think of more uses, please let me know. Best of all, its $250 or less brand new and their are a few companies out there making really nice holsters for them too. My 18 year old son doesn't share the same passion for shooting as I do, (unless it involves shooting on his video games) and every time I buy a new firearm and show him, I can usually see dollar signs in his eyes as he thinks, when Dad is gone I can get good money for his collection.......but after shooting the Brawler he looked at me for the first time and said Dad, I'm keeping this one, I like it. I said, son I don't plan on going anytime soon so go get your own Brawler dammit. In conclusion, I have dozens of firearms, some hand guns in the $1,000-$2,000 range. I buy and sell and try new stuff out because I just like to shoot. (20 plus years as a soldier and 16 years and counting as a Deputy sheriff) I am a shooter not a collector, but I aint never parting with my Brawler. It is just that much fun and plenty useful. Good review Al !!!
Cool post.
How’s it going my friend? The little browser. It is a blast to shoot that’s for sure. My son and I. We call it the little hand cannon. And with the 45 colt. It’s pretty accurate. At 50 and 60 yards. We can both half gallon milk jugs. Just about every shot. That is of a steady rest I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful night and a great weekend. 👍👍👍👍👍
Does this classify as a pistol or is it easier to buy like a shotgun
This classified as a handgun by atf@@thecommandmentoffaith1755
I just picked up a 22LR 410 chamber adapter from Short Lane for my Brawler. Works great! Thanks for your reviews!
That’s awesome. I have got to check those out. Thanks for the info, my friend. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
A great re-review of this hog leg ... it seems that most of your viewers think it's more for snakes ... at least when shooting shot shells. I think a snake out to 20-25 feet would be dead on delivery. The .45 LC shot quite nicely. A good day for having some fun.
Thank you my friend. It’s surprisingly accurate with the 45 long colt. After putting this optic on can’t wait to give this a try out about 50 to 100 yards. I think it’s going to do pretty good. Having some severe thunderstorms. And high wind. Getting the second round. I can hear the thunder rumbling. And the rain is really coming down. Hopefully this will pass soon. You take care of my friends. And have a most wonderful weekend. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍
WOW pard ... That looks good with the scope Great video ... And you just my see this gun in the next StaWars movie lol🤠🤠👍👍
I heard that my friend😆😆😆 you might have something there take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Good morning Old Mate
Nice shooting.
Looking forward to seeing what it will do at 50 and 100 yards,
Good morning my friend. I’m going to give this a try soon as possible. I think it’s going to do pretty good. It seems to be decently accurate with the red dot optic. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Good shooting, Al! The 45 Colt is doing great. I think the .410 capability is more a novelty. It would be devastating up close, but this ain't no squirrel gun. 😂😂
After putting a optic on this one. It was surprisingly accurate I would like to give it a try at them longer distance shot but you’re right the 410 is nothing to write home about😂😂😂. It would probably be good for snakes and up close and personal. Defense. It does pretty good with the the critical defense around by Hornady. But someone said you don’t post to use those in this firearm for some reason. But I can’t see why not. I’m going to contact the factory. And get some more information on this. You take care and have a wonderful night my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍👍
Just bought a Brawler . Love it so far. very accurate especially with a red dot optic.
.
I've never seen a backstop setup like you got, that's pretty darn nice. Excellent high contrast, and I like how even the border is highlighted. I might make something similar.
Thank you I appreciate that. The border, gives you an outline and seems to enhance your target. Would you get yours Range finished send me some pictures I would love to see it I think it would be my friend you take care and have a wonderful day and a great weekend sorry it took so long to get back to you running way behind👍👍👍👍👍👍
My wife just got one I think I am gonna add the truglo 2x 30 red dot we really got it so she could have her own deer gun for ohios very short firearm deer season, and we are also gonna try it with #4 shot for squirrels over a dog
Great video as always thank you good sir
That’s awesome. When you get a chance to give it a try to let me know how you like it. It seems to shoot a 45 colt real accurate 👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing video great shooting I’m going to look into getting one of these
Thank you, my good friend. These are a blast to shoot that for sure. If you get a chance to pick one up. And give it a try. Let me know how you like it. I would love to hear from you my friend. You take care and have a most wonderful night. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍👍
I gotta say I really like that Brawler, and the optic definitely helps. Nice shooting 👍
Thank you my friend. It’s definitely a blast to shoot. It’s something a little different. You take care and have a wonderful weekend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
i love your channel sir.great shooting
Thank you I appreciate that my friend. I think you for watching. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
When I need an answer to a question I never asked, I’ll look to Rossi! 😂 keep up the good work. 👍
I heard that my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the demo. I take back part of what I thought about it. It showed up well with the 45LC. I think I will save my money... unless a double hits the market. Now, the Bond Derringer sings a different tune with some buck shot and I expect this would too.
You are most welcome my friend. Running way behind trying to catch up. I would like to see this come out and I double barrel also. That would be a little different. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you watching👍👍👍👍👍
Nice testing Al. I think adding the optic really helped a lot. Looking forward to seeing this one down on the range. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you my friend. Can’t wait to get this one a try. Be doing that real soon. You take care my friend. God bless and have a wonderful day👍👍👍👍🙏
Very fun idea. Since you introduced this item, I’ve been watching other videos. Nobody came up with that yet.
Nice shootin
How’s it going my friend? This seems to be working pretty good. I really enjoyed shooting this little hand cannon. It’s a blast. How are you? Take care of my friend and have a wonderful night. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Those shotgun shells are probably only good for 15 feet or so with that rifled short barrel. I was hoping for more, too ! Good video, Sir! Thank you.
That’s about it. I was hoping with the optic where I could adjust the pattern. It would do a whole lot better. But it is super accurate with the 45 long colt. I’m going to give it a try it about 50 and 100 yards. Just to see how it’s going to hold up. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. Always appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl You too , Al ! Thanks 😊!
I love mine red dot doe’s definitely help very happy with it.
That’s awesome. I’m glad you like it my friend. They definitely help with the accuracy. I think you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Good shooting Al good video.
Thank you I appreciate it my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend.👍👍👍👍
Thank You for the great video.
If it were a double barrel that I could simultaneously load one side for Bear and one side for venomous snakes and have a red dot, I would buy one in a minute.
The rifled barrel will give you a donut pattern with the 410. It spins the shot outward, away from the middle. Still makes a good short range snake gun.
Good video. Maybe try shooting the 410 closer until you get a better pattern. The TC Contender barrels could be had with a choke to stop the spin.
That’s exactly what this one’s doing. Everything’s going outward around the target. Not much thing to the center. But the 45 long colt are surprisingly accurate. Thanks for the info, my friend. You take care and have a great weekend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍🎯🎯💥
I have already spoken to my gunsmith and secured a set of circuit judge tubes he thinks that there is enough steel there to drill and tap it for them 😊 of course now I have taken what was a budget gun and put it in the $600 range
This was a fun update, Al. It would seem that the short barrel just patterned the 410 rounds out so big that they just didn’t print out from 15-20 yards. What a fun gun to play with! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
The optic really helped with the 45 long colt. But not so much with the. 410 gauge. I think it’s because of the rifling. Would be good for snakes. At about 5 to 10 yards. But it’s definitely a blast to shoot. Now you take care and have a great weekend my friend. The weather is getting rough here this morning. Some severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. With a lot of wind. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍🎯💥
Very interesting firearm Al.
Thank you my friend. You take care and have a great weekend. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍
I say a decent group for barrel length..... thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you my friend. It seems to be doing pretty good with the red dot optic. Would like to give it a try at a longer distance. Maybe 50. 75 to 100 yard. Just to see what is capable of. I want to thank you for watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful night.👍👍👍👍
Al shot shells never shoot well in rifled barrels due to the cylindrical force caused by the rifling which causes the shot to spread out much more rapidly than a smooth bore barrel.
I heard that my friend. 45 long colt does pretty decent. It seems to be pretty accurate. But it’s never good. Shooting buckshot through a rifled barrel Thanks for the info my friend. You take care and have a great weekend. I really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
Right and where there no choke keeping the shot together like a typical shotgun. It's going to do it's best work with buck shot up close 10 yards and in..
It's not so much the rifled barrel as it is the open choke
@@chaddesantis4191 actually it has a lot to do with the rifled barrel if it had a smooth cylinder bore it would have performed much better.
Same concept as too tight constricting choke. Turkey chokes work great with turkey loads, not so much #8. It forces the bb together causing them to bounce off each other making an erratic pattern
Enjoyed the video Al ! That's a cool novelty gun but not very practical , may be a good snake charmer for 10 foot shots .
Thank you my friend. Would make a good snake gun. And that’s pretty good with the 45 long colt. you have a wonderful weekend my friend I really appreciate you watching👍👍👍👍
I just picked one up myself and had a fun idea for it. Ive got a couple boxes of the X Ring 45 cal rubber bullets, and you load them into 45 Colt cases with just a primer for a nice little reusable gallery load. I just need to make a target holder / catch box for the bullets.
That’s awesome. These are pretty neat. Little single shot pistol. It’s something you can take out to the range and have some fun with. I want to thank you for watching you take care and have a wonderful day👍👍👍👍👍
Great content
I’m I’m goin to put the biggest optic I can fit on it just for the fun of it. I probably will mostly just run iron sights otherwise.
That’s what I was going to do but this one was shooting way to the lift and low and with these fixed sights there’s not really any way to adjust it. Hopefully they will come out with a set of adjustable sights. That would be nice. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAlbig optic didn’t work out to well, ended up purchasing the TruGlo pistol red dot PSA had on sale. Haven’t shot with it yet but I think it’ll work much better, and it looks pretty good with it on there.
hey guys just a fyi i tried my brawler barrel on my Polly Tuffy 20 gage frame and stock today it fits and shoots perfect.
Happy holiday weekend. 🎉. Optic realy helped the 45colts. Wish was +p rated. As 410ga might ok with shot up close.
And a wonderful Labor Day weekend to you. I always appreciate you watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Gotta say,
Loved the video. I have found through my testing so far it just loves the 45LC. Have not tried rifled slugs though. I’m assuming similar results. They are just hard to find here.
I found a red dot to be the ticket with this gun. Also recommend taking the picatinny off and using some loctite on it first. I’ve had great luck out to 50 yards 100 has been a bit of a challenge but not undoable. Great little gun in my opinion.
This one is pretty good with a rifle slugs. Not so good with the buckshots. But not really that bad considering the short barrel. I think you for watching my friend. you take care and have a wonderful night👍👍👍👍👍
How did the Federal shoot? I didn't notice you shooting it in this video, only the 'cowboy round'.
Actually, did pretty good with federal Winchesters. And I had a few mixed rounds not for sure exactly what they were. But they all seem to shoot pretty accurate out of the little pistol. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a great evening my friend.👍👍👍👍👍
If I can get some cheaper slugs, I'd like to see how they will do compared to the .45's.
It’s really hard in this area to get any kind of shotshells for slugs. For the 410 gauge Hopefully these will come back on the market soon. You take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍
They are hard to get here too. I can get slugs for my 12 gauge all day long, but I shop the internet for all my.410 rounds.@@TheWalkWithAl
Another great video.
Hopefully getting one of those soon.
Who makes the pistol stand you are using and what do you think of it?
Thank you my friend this is a portable rest made by Herter’s come in handy when you’re going to the range. And there’s not any place to shoot. This will fold right up. With carrying handles. And fit right in the trunk of a car. Or truck. It is fully adjustable. For rifle pistols another firearms. And for me I’m really glad I picked this one up. These run around 199 bucks. And I have seen them cheaper. They are super sturdy. And comfortable to shoot off of. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a most wonderful night. 👍👍👍👍
I love mine, had it for about 2 weeks now , ive fired about 3 .410 2 3/4 and around 4 .410 3in . 2 slugs , and one 45lc . The 3in give the most kick. The 45 LC shoots smooth and accurate so far. I mounted my SIG ROMEO5 on it. I want to try some shots at 40 and 50 yards , mabey today . Id love to get it sighted in at 50 yards and mabey even take it on my elk hunt this year. I will be taking it coyote hunting also. These pistols just came out and i had to get one, just had to . 😊
hello friend, as a reloader of 44years I've learned to at times to experiment and improvise. I bought my rossi brawler a week ago thinking while waiting for my brass to get here I would try 45acp and it worked wonderfully. to make it work I went to local harbor freight and bought a 225 peace pack / box of nitrile metric o- ring assortment. it has 18 sizes. I used sizes ps 7.9x2.4mm ,fo106 8x2mm , p9 8.8.8x1.9. I shot 24rounds and all worked flawlessly and accurately but one stuck I think using size ps 7.8x1.9 which got behind the extractor. tip of pocket knife got it out easy. haven't shot 410 yet. I love the idea of shooting 410/45acp/ 45colt .the way ammunition is today that's a big plus in my book. it will be a little harder to shut the action. I'm about deaf in both ears and can barely hear the action shut so after shutting action I doubt check its shut.papa wishing you well. 😊
I bought one over the weekend and have been pleased with it so far. I have 3 inch shot and Fort Scott Munitions 45 Long Colt 225gr TUI ammo out of it. I would like to try and take a deer with it this year. I think an optic would be a nice addition to mine as well. I am going to try some 000 buck next.
That’s awesome. I was thinking the same thing. About taking this one deer hunting I don’t think it would be any problem. It would do the job. It did pretty decent with the 000 buckshot. At least it 15 yards. But not so good with the rifle slung. Someone said those are not recommended. But I don’t know why I’m going to contact the company. To see why these cannot be used. I think you were watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day. And a great weekend.👍👍👍👍👍
Seems that optic made a difference friend. Be safe , God Bless you and ya kin and God Bless America. You have a great day. 🤠🙏🇺🇸🦮
Definitely made a big difference. Especially with the 45 long colt. You take care and have a wonderful evening my friend. Sorry, it took so long to get back to you running way behind. 👍👍👍👍
I would say that's pretty good shooting!
It did a whole lot better than I actually would have thought but not so good with the buckshot can’t wait to give this a try at about 50 to 100 yards. Just to see how it will hold up. Take care. And Have a great weekend my friend. 👍👍👍👍
I'd like to see one with a little longer Barrel animal trucks
Does good with the 45 Colt & might with 410 slug load. Could be just me but it looked like with shotshells a lot of shot was hitting in front of target. Rifling may be causing it to spin downward. I think it's a neat little pistol. Try it on some hand tossed/slow clay pigeons. 👍💥
Seem to do pretty good with a 45 long colt. But with the shot shield not so good. After the video. I put up a cardboard box. Diameter, 4 feet by 4 foot at 15 yards aiming dead center of the target. Hardly anything in the center of the target. But all the way around it. Was peppered pretty good. It’s almost like the Rifling. Is causing a hole. In the pattern. Go figure. Take care my friend. Having some bad thunderstorms down here this evening. It’s always a pleasure my friend.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAlBeen watching & storms should move down & hit us about 8:30. 🌩 Stay safe. Heat the coffee up before power goes out. 😂☕ 🔋
I read, no slugs.
I kinda wonder if they could do some engineering on the shotgun shells perhaps as simple as tefloning the inner wall of the shell and the outer surface of the shotwad so that there would be reduced friction so the wad would tend to inactivity just a thought
That would be nice. It does pretty good with the 45 colt. Hopefully the GEN two. They might improve it. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a great evening.👍👍👍👍
I’ve only shot mine a half dozen shots or so but I love it. Like a lot of people say I think it will be a heck of a snake gun. Sometimes it’s nice just to have a fun gun they aren’t the most accurate but I didn’t buy it for accuracy I bought it for fun and it fills those shoes really nicely
I heard that my friend they are a blast to shoot that’s for sure. Sorry it took so long to get back to you my friend running way behind. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the video. It looked to me like you were shooting low with the shot shells. I would like to see how it shoots with a slug. The rifled barrel sgould make it shoot good. But I am not sure it is doing anything for the shot shells. Maybe try aiming higher will help with them. Just a guess. Thanks again. ☺🇺🇸
I think the optic really help with the 45 long colt. But not with the shotshells. And reviewing the video. It was doing a donut effect. It was shooting all around the target. I would say due to the rifling. About 5 to 7 yards. Is tops with the shotshells. Take care and have a wonderful evening my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Great follow up vid Al.
The Rossi Brawler (in my opinion) has the same real world,
effective range as the Taurus judge. With anything besides 45lc, the
effective range, whether shot, buckshot etc is no greater than
about ten yards. And that's pushing it! In my opinion. (Smile)
If you want to shoot longer distances... 45lc is definitely the way to go.
But for the closest thing you can get to a shot barrel shotgun that fits in
the palm of your hand... I'm loving it! (Smile)
Stay safe and healthy.
Peace
One more thing.
How's that red dot holding up? I'm considering getting one myself
for my Brawler.
I have been using these Tasco Propoint for many of years on 12 gauge shotguns high-powered rifles without any issues whatsoever and will hold up to a 3 inch, 12 gauge magnum Recoil with no problem You can pick these up at Walmart for real 40 bucks. I will fit on the 3/8 done till. Or the Picatinny rail or Weaver style mounts and work great on this little hand cannon😀. I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care. Have a great weekend. 👍👍👍👍👍🎯🎯
@@TheWalkWithAl
Thanks brother.
I'll have to look into that optic. A good, reliable, inexpensive optic for
about $40... What's not to love. Lol!
I want you to know that I appreciate your work and really like your
down to earth approach during your reviews. Great job!
Keep doing what you do. (Smile)
Stay safe and healthy.

Would like to see a group with .410 slugs at 15 yards. That gun shot nicely with the ammo on your first group here.
That would be interesting to find out. I’ll put that down for a review. I want to thank you for watching my friend. Take care and have a great evening.👍👍👍👍
good day on the range Al
Thank you my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend. I really appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👍
In your opinion do you think this could be used for deer hunting at a certain distance?
Most certainly. With a good the right ammunition. And within 50 yards. Would be no problem. 45 as a pretty powerful little round. I hope this helps in someway. I think you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl Thank you and have a wonderful evening yourself.
Like the Taurus Judge, the rifled barrel is spinning the shot causing the pattern to spread out rapidly.
I heard that my friend. Not too bad with the 45 colt? But with the shotshells about 8 yards of Max. But it’s still pretty neat Little single shot pistol. Especially for the money. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day. And a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
Do we need an optic on a .410? A very fun video. Thank You, Al!
Not really, for the 410 but it sure helps with the accuracy of the 45 long colt and for me that’s what I’m going to be mostly shooting out of this one. Because of the rifled barrel. Doesn’t do well with the 410. But as a blast to shoot shoot. Now you take care and have a wonderful weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍💥💥💥
What's happening, is the rifling is spinning the birdshot, so you have to be a lot closer to get a good pattern
( my 2 cents )
Yes, the way the rifling is on this one. You’ve got to be pretty closed. But does pretty good with the 45 colt. I thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍
I think this gun will do well with buck shot and .45lc but I think since it’s fully rifled you can probably develop sabot slug loads for the .410 using .45 cal muzzle loader sabots used for shooting like .30 caliber rifle bullets.
It actually does pretty well with a rifle slugs. And critical defense Rounds. But not so good with regular buckshot. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍👍
Big improvement in accuracy with the optic
The optic really helped with the 45 long colt. Actually, surprisingly accurate. I’ve got to give this a try. At about 50. And 100 yards. Just to actually see how far it will hold up. You take care and have a great weekend my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍👍
My brawler is effective with 410 max to 15 yards using bird shot, but 10 yards is better. I haven’t shot 45 colt yet. As I said in your last video, I wish they’d have added a choke to stop the wad from spinning. Great video!
Thanks for the info, my friend. I do wish they would fix that problem also with adding additional choke. To help with 410 ammo. Hopefully that something they will improve in the future. But still a fun little single shot pistol that shoots. I think you for watching my friend. Take care and have a wonderful evening👍👍👍👍👍
The lack of a choke and the rifling in the barrel makes it legal. Thank your Uncle Sam for that one.
I would like to try one, maybe if you can some of the pdx self defense 410 shells. Maybe the rifling won't hurt it as bad.👍👍
How’s it going hillbilly. I’m running way behind brother. I think I got a few of those laying around. I have to give those to try and find out. You take care and have a wonderful evening, my friend it’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
Is it possible to turkey hunt with the brawler using 410? which loads would you use?
No, I don’t think it would be possible. It just doesn’t have enough range. You would have to be probably 10 yard or less. And you would want to use number four or five shot I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍
A lot of those pellets were hittin the tree root and dirt ridge from the root
Not very accurate with the 410 gauge shotshells but it’s surprisingly accurate with the 45 long colt. This optic really helped with the grouping of the shots. I really appreciate you watching my friend. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
good shooting my friend
Thank you my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend. Always appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍
Also I have a question I have tried three different red dots on that thing and I can't get any of them to go low enough to wear the bore sighting says it is supposed to be at did you have any problems sighting in the
No, I didn’t have any problems on this one. It kind of sounds like your mouth might not be not exactly lined up. But you said you was having trouble with the elevation can’t get it down low enough I don’t understand that I have put two different optics on this one with no issues Let me know if you get that worked out I want thank you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful evening 👍👍👍👍👍👍 PS. You might want to try a small shim. Under the front or the back. It don’t take much. I usually use a piece of aluminum Popcan
It will shoo better groups e that
How many shots did it take you to zero your red dot? It took me 1/2 box of ammo to get the bullseye on my new sig p320 max and still only had two bullseye shots.
I think three shots. I use a old method? But works pretty good. get you a big piece of cardboard. Put you a mark in the center of the cardboard then go ahead and take your first shot holding dead center. No matter where the projectile hits. Then just simply. Pull back to dead center again. And make sure you got your gun secure I have gun vice that works pretty good. Then click over to the shot you made in the cardboard. This should put you dead center This is old school. .but Usually is a one shot zero method. Give this a try. It works pretty good. I thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful weekend 👍👍👍👍.
Have you tried 410 7 1/2 and 8, 9 shots?
Yes, I’ve tried 7 1/2 number 8,9 and number six shot. And it seems to do pretty good with the critical defense rounds. I really appreciate you watching. You take care and have a great day my friend. 👍👍👍👍👍
With shotgun shells that thing is a 10 foot gun, which is good for shooting snakes. So that’s good.
Hickok45 and I both shoot the Brawler just fine with the iron sights. Sorry about your luck.The rifled barrel is why your buckshot spreads like a good rumor. It has to be rifled to be legal.
you keep your brawler I’ll take my super command any day over it. And it is also rifled you have a nice day
@@TheWalkWithAl If you knew what your were doing, you'd know to use #00 or #000 rounds with all the pellets loaded in a straight line in a shot cup. When they get spun it only adds stability because all the pellets are centered When you have smaller pellets in stacks they get slung to the outside. Follow? Have the kind of day you deserve!
With the shot shells you need to be within 6 yards
Unlike my Super Comanche, which has a Modified choke for the .410 shell, I can see the Rossi not shooting shot shells too well. However Slugs should do alright.
It doesn’t do very well with the shot shells. But you’re right it does do good with slugs. And the 45 colt. I want to thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a great day.👍👍👍👍
Rifling is spreading the buckshot
I guess people have been shooting slugs thru this. Very interesting gun. Id love to add it to the safe. I just wish theyd rate it for +P
What do y’all think about using this as a hog and deer gun for close range? Would it stand up to +P ammo?
No problem with wild hogs. But I don’t know about the plus P ammunition. I’ll check into that and see what they say. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Proper trigger finger placement is what dropped your shot low and left. Center of the tip of your finger, that shot was on the very tip. If you shoot high and right it’s because you were back at the knuckle of your first digit. Finger placement is the most important thing about a trigger and we’ll throw your shot off. That was not a pull, that was a push, for a right handed shooter pull is high and right, push is low and left
👍👍👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯
It seems to more of a novelty than anything else.
The 45 long colt does pretty good but the 410 not so good. I don’t think they did a lot testing with this one. But would make a good all-terrain vehicle or truck gun maybe. You take care and have a great day my friend. It’s always a pleasure.👍👍👍👍
I’m sure they are fun to own and shoot and I’m sure some day I will own one of these but I just don’t think these multi caliber guns can shoot all of the caliber’s accurately.
I think you’re right about that my friend. It’s hard to chew two different projectiles. Out of the same gun. Especially when they’re so different. I think you for what you my friend. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
I wish it shot 454 casull.
That would definitely be all right. It would be something that I would purchase for sure. I think you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl I wanted one of these the second I saw it. I like the idea of owning a 45LC/.410 as a novelty, and I would definitely sacrifice 3 usable shots (Judge is a 5 shot and I don't carry one under the hammer) just for the longer barrel, let alone the price point. Further still, I think of the Raging Judge in 454/45/410 and I picture this as more than just a plinker if it fired a little hotter cartridge.
Thanks for sharing your videos, i really enjoyed this one and I am gonna go back and watch some of the others now
best ammo I found that gave me 2in groups at 50yds was Hornady lever action 225gr .At 30yrs 1 in groups .Hope this helps someone. I really like my rossi 45/410
Thanks for the info on that my friend. I’ll try to find them and give them a try. I’m running way behind trying to get caught up. You take care and have a wonderful evening. Really appreciate you wy my friend.👍👍👍👍
if the barel is riffled you wont have a good patern in 410..you have to try using 410 slugs,,Anyway nice vid..greetings from Greece..
Thanks for the info, my friend. Really appreciate that. I want to thank you for watching. You take care and have a great weekend.👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl thank you..I have the saiga 410(ak style) and if i m using the paradox riffled choke with bird shot, the patern is terrible..
Did you change the thing that screws into the barrel? One is for 45 colt the other is for 410 bore. If you didn’t that is what’s messing up you shotgun shells
The Rossi brawler doesn’t have those changeable inserts like the super Comanche does but I wish they did That would give you some accuracy with the shotshells. Hopefully they will come up with something soon for this one. Thanks for the info though. I really appreciate it. You take care and have a great day my friend.👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@TheWalkWithAl I have seen other reviews and they had it
@@TheWalkWithAl you might wanna get in touch with them
Subbed
Thank you I appreciate you watching. And subscribing to the channel you take care and have a wonderful weekend. 👍👍👍👍👍
this gun was made for close up shooting. if you need to shoot max distance then buy a full size 12 guage or 10 guage.
Seems the super Comanche is the better of the 2
Yes, the super Comanche does better with shotshells. It does hold a pretty good pattern out to 20 yards. The Rossi. Brawler 10 yards or list. But with the 45 colt. A pretty equal matchup. I want to thank you for watching my friend. You take care and have a wonderful day.👍👍👍👍
Remember this barrel is rifled. So 45 lg good . Buc shot be better anything else , #9,8,7,6 7 yards best. Take care .
Your gonna cost me $$ Al...
How’s it going my friend? I’m glad I pick this one up. I think it’s going to be a Accurate shooter, with the 45 long colt.👍👍👍👍
Just, why?
My contenders shoot better groups than that at 100 yards. As usual with these 45/410 combination guns, by trying to make it do everything, they have made it shit at everything. Would be a great gun if it was just a 45 colt, or if it was just a 410 shotgun. They can't legally make it a smoothbore shotgun because the NFA would classify a smooth bore handgun as an "any other weopon" and require a tax stamp. What they should do to make it really functional as a shotgun is put a very long rifling twist in it, like 1:200" or something like that. That way it wouldn't make donut patterns with birdshot.
I heard that my friend. With this one, I’m going to stick with the 45 colt it seem to be pretty accurate with those. You take care and have a great evening. Really appreciate you watching.👍👍👍👍👍
Tasco optic on a 45LC, this is beyond super fuddy.
Believe it or not, I’ve been using this for years. With great success. I have had this optical on Shotgun and Hi-powered Rifles. Just to see how it would hold up. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money. And you’re on a budget. This will work for you. And it will hold up to 3 inch magnums 12 gauge recoil. With no problem. I have been using this one for over 10 years because it will fit anything from a 22 rifle 3/8 Picatinny rail and Weaver style also And I think you for watching. You take care and have a most wonderful day.👍👍👍
Deer hunting ? Yea or ney
Most definitely. One of my favorite season. I think you for watching. You take care and have a wonderful evening.👍👍👍👍👍
looks like most of your shot is hitting low in the dirt.
I was noticing that also. After reviewing the video. I actually tried to correct this by sitting it in about an inch high. With the 45 colt. But still is shooting low. Even at 30 yards. I’m going to try optic with yardage reticles. That way I can simply set it in dead on with the 45 colt. And use the other reticles. For the 410 shotshells. I really appreciate you watching my friend. And I thank you for the info you provided. You take care and have a most wonderful day. 👍👍👍👍
You know, shooting #6 shot out of a short rifled barrel at 45' and expecting anything but failure tells me you are a bit of a shotgun poser. With a .410 rifled barrel you have two choices of shotshell: slugs and #00 or larger buckshot. Learn, then teach.
this gun is a pistol. it is made to shoot about the same distance as you would shoot your glock 9mm. this gun was not made to shoot past 10 - 15 yards. Im going to build a 12 guage like it but it will require a tax stamp but it will be 4 times the gun this 410 is.
Just get a Diablo, or a Desperado and be content with their limitations. Simpler, cheaper and faster that federal red tape.
