Exciting news, all! Rossi has expanded its R95 product line with the introduction of the R95 TBP (Triple Black Pistol) series. The new offering adapts the company’s Triple Black rifle design into a pistol format while maintaining the same aesthetic features and functional enhancements of the original.

The R95 TBP (Triple Black Pistol) will be available in four calibers: .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and .45-70 Government. This caliber selection spans from traditional handgun cartridges to the powerful rifle round often used in big game hunting applications.
Technical specifications for the R95 TBP include:
- 13.25-inch threaded barrel
- Black Cerakote finish on metal components
- Paracord-wrapped medium loop lever
- Integrated sling mounting points
- Lever-action operation with exposed hammer
The pistol format provides reduced overall length compared to carbine or rifle configurations, potentially offering advantages in transport, storage, and maneuverability in confined spaces. The threaded barrel allows for the attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices where legally permitted.
Lever-action pistols represent a niche category in the firearms market, combining traditional lever-action mechanics with handgun form factors. These firearms typically appeal to hunters seeking compact options for brush hunting, recreational shooters, and collectors interested in alternative firearm designs.
The inclusion of the .45-70 Government chambering is particularly notable, as this cartridge was originally designed for rifles and generates notable recoil, especially in lighter-weight firearms. The .454 Casull option also places the R95 TBP (Triple Black Pistol) among the more powerful lever-action handgun options currently available.
The R95 Triple Black rifle, upon which this new model is based, features similar styling elements, including the black Cerakote finish and paracord-wrapped lever. The “Triple Black” designation refers to the monochromatic black appearance of the firearms. Whether it finds a home with hunters seeking a packable big-bore option, collectors expanding their lever-action lineup, or shooters who just appreciate uniquely American firearm designs, the R95 TBP carves out an interesting niche.
Rossi hasn’t announced pricing or availability details yet, but if the full-sized Triple Black models are any indication, expect these to hit dealer shelves soon.
