Description
The Rossi SS Poly Tuffy is proof that a simple single shot still earns its keep. This is a .410 bore break-action with an 18.5 inch matte black barrel, a 3 inch chamber, and an overall length right around 31 inches. The headline here is weight. At roughly 2.95 pounds unloaded, it is noticeably lighter than the older metal-receiver Tuffy models, which makes it easy to carry all day or stash behind a seat without a second thought.
That weight savings comes from a redesigned black polymer receiver with molded-in steel supports at the high-stress points, including the breech face and barrel hinge. You get the durability where it counts and the light handling everywhere else. The flush-fitting polymer barrel release lever keeps things snag-free, and a spring-loaded ejector kicks spent hulls clear so you can reload fast.
What the SS Poly Tuffy Brings to the Field
The OD green thumbhole stock is the other standout. It has a short length-of-pull that fits smaller-framed and younger shooters well, and both sides carry integrated shell holders that stow four rounds each for eight on board. That means your next shells ride right on the gun whether you load them primer up for protection or primer down for a quicker reload. A rubber recoil pad helps tame the already mild .410 kick.
Sighting and Barrel on the Poly Tuffy
Up front you get a brass bead sight on a fixed-choke 18.5 inch smooth-bore barrel with Modified constriction, a sensible middle-ground pattern for pests, small game, and close work. Between the cross-bolt manual safety and the transfer bar, it is a straightforward gun to run safely. The .410 chambering handles both 3 inch and 2.5 inch shells, so you have room to tune your load.
For anyone who wants a no-fuss shotgun for the farm, the camp, the trail, or a new shooter's first gun, the SS Poly Tuffy covers a lot of ground without weighing you down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size shells does the SS Poly Tuffy .410 take?
It has a 3 inch chamber, so it feeds both 3 inch and 2.5 inch .410 bore shells. That gives you flexibility to run lighter 2.5 inch loads for plinking or step up to 3 inch loads for small game and pests. The barrel is smooth bore with a fixed Modified choke.
How many shells does the Tuffy stock hold?
The OD green thumbhole stock has integrated shell holders on both sides, carrying four rounds per side for eight total on the gun. They sit angled forward so you can draw them with the gun shouldered. You can load them primer up or primer down depending on whether you want protection or a faster reload.
Is the SS Poly Tuffy a good shotgun for younger or smaller shooters?
It is a solid fit. The short length-of-pull, light weight around 2.95 pounds, and mild .410 recoil make it manageable for youth and smaller-framed shooters. A rubber recoil pad helps keep things comfortable at the range or in the field.
Does this Tuffy have a metal or polymer receiver?
This SS Poly version uses a black polymer receiver with molded-in steel supports at the high-stress areas like the breech face and barrel hinge. That design drops a good bit of weight compared to the older all-metal Tuffy models while keeping the strength where it matters. The barrel itself is alloy steel with a matte black finish.
