Rsa Lasserre Super Comanche 45LC 410 Nkl

About this product

The Super Comanche is a single-shot, break-action pistol chambered for both .45 Colt and .410-bore shotshells, manufactured in Argentina by Lasserre S.A. and imported into the U.S. by RSA. This listing is the nickel-finished variant, an alternative to the more common blued version of the same dual-caliber design.

How does a dual-caliber .45 Colt/.410 pistol work?

The .410 bore and .45 Colt cartridge happen to share a compatible chamber diameter, which is the entire premise behind this style of pistol: load a .45 Colt cartridge for a traditional handgun round, or load a .410 shotshell for buckshot, birdshot, or specialty rounds, all from the same single-shot break-action chamber. It's a single-shot design, so you manually break the action open to load and eject each round rather than working a magazine or cylinder.

What does the nickel finish and configuration look like?

Nickel-finished Super Comanche pistols from this import line are generally built with a shorter barrel than the blued standard model — figures reported for the nickel variant run around a 10-inch barrel with roughly 13.8 inches overall length and about 47 ounces in weight, versus the standard blued model's longer 10.25-inch barrel configuration. Sights are a fixed front post with an adjustable rear notch, and the frame and grip are steel with black synthetic or rubber grip panels depending on the specific production run.

What is this pistol actually used for?

Single-shot .45 Colt/.410 pistols like the Super Comanche are popular as a lightweight field or trail companion — useful for snake and small-pest dispatch with .410 shot loads, or as a compact option for .45 Colt handloads at closer range. It's not built as a defensive-carry pistol or a high-round-count range gun; the single-shot action and break-open reload are deliberately simple rather than fast.

Who should consider this pistol?

This is a niche pick for hikers, ranchers, and outdoorsmen who want one gun that handles both a traditional revolver cartridge and shotshell loads without carrying two separate firearms. Collectors of unusual dual-caliber designs are another natural audience, given how few manufacturers still build this style of pistol.

How does the FFL transfer and California compliance work?

As a firearm, the Super Comanche ships to a licensed FFL dealer for an in-person transfer and background check rather than to a home address. Single-shot break-action pistols can fall into different regulatory categories than semi-automatic or revolver handguns in some states, so California buyers should confirm this specific model's current legal status with their receiving FFL before ordering. Checkout is processed through secure checkout, and no stock-level, shipping-speed, or discount claims are made on this listing.

Is a break-action pistol treated like any other handgun for the transfer?

Generally yes — even though it lacks a magazine or cylinder, a break-action single-shot pistol is still classified as a handgun for federal and most state transfer purposes, which means the standard background check, any applicable waiting period, and handgun-specific paperwork (such as California's Handgun Safety Certificate requirement, unless you're exempt) still apply. Your receiving FFL can confirm the exact requirements for this specific model before you place an order.

What ammunition should you use in a dual-caliber pistol like this?

Stick to factory-loaded .45 Colt ammunition and standard .410-bore shotshells rated for this style of firearm rather than mixing in specialty or high-pressure handloads, since the chamber and barrel are built around the pressures of those standard offerings. If you're unsure which loads are appropriate for your specific Super Comanche, the importer's documentation or your FFL is a better source than general online forums.
