Hey guys, I just discovered this little carbine and it won me over in an instant. Thought I'd share it with you...
Legacy/Rossi '92 Ltd. 16" Trapper - .454 Casull
You'll be grinning from ear to ear when you handle this. This model really offers a LOT of great features.. nothing on the market like it:
• The .454 Casull chambering also feeds and fires .45 Colt for great ammo options - go from mousefart .45 Colt cowboy loads right on up to Corbon 200gr. JHP or Buffalo Bore .45Colt, and from there you can also shoot the stout .454 Casull if you feel like it. Remarkable versatility in this chambering. Both Georgia Arms and Buffalo Bore are just now about to release new personal defense (anti-personnel) JHP loads in .45 Colt and (Buffalo Bore) .454 Casull. They should be excellent defense loads from this rifle.
• Hi-Viz sights (green rear dots, red front dot) are bright as can be... really quick to acquire.
• Short 16" barrel makes this Trapper very quick to the shoulder and very handy in tight quarters or brush.
• Nicely cushioned ventilated buttpad absorbs recoil well
• front loading port in the tube is superb alternative to relieve your thumb from pushing rounds into the receiver loader.
• John M Browning's superb 92 action... great choice for pistol calibers, smooth, reliable, VERY strong
• fine grain black finished hardwood looks like ebony against the stainless steel
• compact and lightweight
• low maintenance stainless finish, good for humidity, perspiration, salt water spray, etc.
...this rifle's definitely got the goods!
Davidsons commissioned a limited special run of them. Rossi makes them, Legacy is the importer. I bought mine at Sportaman's Warehouse in Portland, OR for $469. They're not even listed on Rossi's or Legacy's websites, but they are on Davidson's website in the Limited and Special Edition section on page 3:

Now if Marlin would just get off their butt and make a great little 16" Trapper in .45Colt or .44mag, I'd probably buy one of those too, lever rifle glutton that I am!
