Rossi Circuit Judge 410 Bore/45LC UAWS Police Trade-In Carbine SA/DA

Overview

The Rossi Circuit Judge 410 Bore/45LC UAWS Police Trade-In Carbine SA/DA offers a rare opportunity to acquire a certified law enforcement trade-in carbine with proven service history. Originally commissioned for the Unified Armored Weapons System (UAWS) program, these carbines are built on Rossi’s proven Circuit Judge platform, chambered for both .410 bore shotshells and .45 Long Colt ammunition. Each unit carries genuine police service wear consistent with professional use, but has been inspected and function-checked prior to sale. This is a single-action/double-action carbine that bridges the gap between a handgun’s maneuverability and a long gun’s accuracy, making it a practical choice for property defense, range shooting, or backcountry carry. Because these are genuine police trade-ins, inventory is limited and each carbine carries distinct cosmetic character from field service.

Features & Specs

The Rossi Circuit Judge 410 Bore/45LC UAWS Police Trade-In Carbine SA/DA combines a 16.5-inch barrel length with an overall lightweight profile, making it easy to shoulder and swing. The cylinder holds five rounds and accepts both .410 shotshells and .45 Colt cartridges interchangeably. This particular batch originates from UAWS contract overstock, meaning each carbine has been through departmental qualification cycles but retains full mechanical function. The SA/DA trigger system allows for a controlled single-action pull or a heavier double-action stroke for rapid follow-up shots.

• Chambered for .410 Bore (2.5-inch and 3-inch) and .45 Long Colt ammunition
• Single-action/double-action (SA/DA) trigger system with transfer bar safety
• 16.5-inch rifled barrel with adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight

The Rossi Circuit Judge 410 Bore/45LC UAWS Police Trade-In Carbine SA/DA is a genuine factory-built carbine, not a conversion.

The cylinder gap is within factory tolerance, and each unit has been checked for lockup and timing. Magazine capacity is five rounds, and the firearm ships with no box or manual, consistent with trade-in procedures.

Who It’s For

This carbine is suited for shooters who want a compact, versatile long gun that can handle both shotshells and revolver cartridges without switching platforms. The Rossi Circuit Judge 410 Bore/45LC UAWS Police Trade-In Carbine SA/DA works for property owners who need a short-range defensive tool that can cycle birdshot for pest control or .45 Colt for larger threats. It also appeals to budget-conscious buyers who want a proven police trade-in with honest wear rather than a safe queen. Because of the dual-caliber capability and SA/DA trigger, this carbine fits the needs of recreational plinkers, campers, and those who appreciate lever-action-style handling in a revolver-action carbine. The trade-in status means no two carbines are exactly alike, which attracts collectors and shooters who value service history over cosmetic perfection.

• Police trade-in origin with documented service use
• Dual-caliber capability reduces the need for multiple firearms
