Meet the New Rossi .300 BLK Brawler & R95 TRP

Have you ever silently yearned for a cut-down mare’s leg lever-action chambered in .454 Casull, or for a single-shot break-action in .300 BLK? Maybe you haven’t. But you’re kind of feeling that yearning now, aren’t ya? Rossi dropped some really interesting new firearms at the 2025 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting in the form of the brand new R95 Triple Black Pistol and a new addition to its single-shot Brawler line. 

Rossi took what people loved about its R95 Triple Black Rifle and shrank it down to a mare’s leg-style pistol configuration with a 13.25-inch barrel that’s threaded and ready for a suppressor or a brake paired with a birdshead-style pistol grip to create the new R95 Triple Black Pistol. All-in-all, the new R95 TBP is a powerful truck gun, backpack gun, or backwoods companion.     

The new TBP combines the rugged features of its rifle-length predecessor with the portability and maneuverability of a pistol-format lever gun — compact, capable, and ready for anything. 

The TBP is available in a variety of chamberings out of the gate, including .454 Casull, .45-70 Govt, .44 Magnum, and .357 Magnum. It also features a Cerakote finish for increased corrosion resistance, a paracord-wrapped medium-size lever loop, and a Picatinny top rail for optics with an integrated peep sight.

Not only is a single-shot pistol a versatile tool with all kinds of utilitarian backcountry uses, including a bugout survival gun, they’re a blast to shoot — and now, the Rossi Brawler single-shot pistol is available chambered for the ubiquitous 5.56 NATO/.223 Winchester and the .300 Blackout. This takes single-shot break-action pistols into all-new territory. 

The adventure-ready Brawler was originally chambered in .45 Colt/.410 bore and built its reputation as a versatile tool for trappers and anyone dealing with pests at close range. Now, the minimalist Brawler is becoming a true survivalist gun and the ultimate solution for ammo conservation.

The Brawler features a dead-simple and reliable break-action design that’s easy to use and maintain. The top rail is ready out of the box to host a red-dot, scope, or magnifier. The single-action trigger is crisp and clean, and a cross-bolt safety adds a layer of security in the field or when transporting the Brawler. Where the meat meets the gun, a rubberized grip absorbs recoil and stays grippy in wet conditions.  

The 9-inch heavy barrel comes threaded for a suppressor, making this a potentially whisper-quiet platform with subsonic .300 BLK ammo.

Plus, you can buy a folding stock assembly add-on for the Brawler from Rossi and turn it into a Rossi Light Weight Carbine (LWC). The stock configuration can also be bought as a complete rifle in either .300 BLK or 5.56.
