Very cool. Pretty sure this tips the scales in my decision of which 3" revolver to buy. Just the fact that they are willing to make products that match what shooters actually want is a good omen.
I hope they offer a taller front sight to cowitness the 507k rear notch.
Maybe, but I’ve been intrigued with FrankenRugers for a while and that looks like a nice way to jump into the pool. Being a .460 means I can run .45 Colt (because .460 and .454 are non-starters for me) and I’m always looking for a reason to bring a .45 Colt into the safe.
And because I’m a fricken gun N-E-R-D.

True fact; I want to find a redeeming aspect of the Judge but I’m not sure it’s possible.
But I do understand the new “Executive Grade”, lots of people don’t know what they don’t know and buy a Judge. Now they’ll be drooling for second one and making haste to make sure the O2 tank is on the power scooter so they can mosey immediately to the LGS.

The image shown on TFB has a pinned on front sight, & there are 5 different grip options shown in the current production 856 page including VZ G10, Viridian laser, Altamont wood, Hogue rubber, & a Taurus rubber. I actually recently installed a set of those newer factory Taurus rubber grips on my old 605. They have a very good feel to them to me. I also put older 605 grips on my 642 & really like them, too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 856 grip is the same as one of the S&W grips, so there should be some kind of grips available that fit you.
It's the Rossi I'm very interested in and different frame. Found Thai guy makes one pair I like. For 856 there is the really nice rosewood for $44 on taurus website or Amazon, there is a particular g10 not the common one I think I would like as well, and Altamonte has one color in stock too.
But 6 shot .357 option now I would like to know when will happen as that will itch my particular scratch best actually
The ramp of the rossi looks longer but looks like same location for roll pin best I can tell so hoping could put that Amariglo night sight on
I think that if I were a member of the credentialed outdoors media that I wouldn't log in to the SHOT Show new products section and leak embargoed information in a blog post.
That would be what I would do in this situation ;-)
whoops...
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
You didn't do anything wrong, you found a blog post and shared information that's relevant to the public. I appreciate that!
