From those tricky Russians at Tula's TsKIB SOO ("Central Design & Research Bureau for Shooting and Hunting Weapons") comes the OTs-62, a 5-shot 12-gauge REVOLVER (2 3/4" chambers); it's basically a cut-down version of their MTs-255 revolving shotgun. It might be fun to play with for a while, but the kicker is the specification that says the DA pull is "no more than 60 Newtons", which translates to about 14 pounds. I wonder what Jerry M. could do with this: http://www.tulatskib.ru/boevoe_pdf/OTs62.pdf They sell it as a riot-control weapon, for firing rubber buckshot and slugs.
 
If the Taurus "Judge" is legal, I see no reason why that monster OTs should not also be legal. But I sure wouldn't want to shoot it. Nevertheless, I'll bet they would sell like hot cakes if they were imported.

"The Judge" has a bore of less than .50 cal, anything larger is a "destructive device".

Well, the REAL reason the Judge is exempt from this BS is that the Judge is a 45-calibre revolver that "just happens" to also fire 410 shotshells, and the Judge's barrel is rifled; neither of those are true for this thing, unfortunately.
 
Isn't there a much better looking Italian revolver-shotgun? I know I've seen those, at least in .410, but I think they were made in 12 gauge, too. I'd rather cut down one of those.
 
The Russkies always have all the cool toys. :)

Best part is, they are usually over built and work. Who cares if they are ugly.
 
Ya know, there is a strange otherworldly beauty to that contraption!
 
Looks like something bone and joint doctors supported to increase their business. Firing that would be hell on your wrists/arms. Fun for a few shots, but then OWW!
