Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a mid-late 90's vintage Rossi 92 and it was a stiff bitch until I worked it over. Wouldn't feed .357 for love nor money and would only run jacketed 158's I.38. I tore it down, did a complete action work over with all new springs, polished everything, reprofiled the ejector a little and now the only thing it doesn't seem to like is .38 wadcutters and even those it does feed you just have to be ginger with them. All others so far you can beat the brakes off of it and it'll eat 'em like a fat kid and cake.

Quoted: Last chance to get a Winchester color cased 1873 357/38 with high grade wood at a (relatively) good price. Only 2 units left. Mine is beautiful, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I don't see the attraction of the 'Winchester' over the Uberti. Neither is made in the US, the 'Winchester' is just a '1873 Japchester' while the Uberti is a '1873 Wopchester' so what's the real difference? Further, while the Japchesters cost the same as the Wopchesters, the examples I've held show the Wopchesters have a better finish than the Japchesters. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have 2 Rossi Puma's. One in 38/357 and the other 45 Colt. Neither have any problems running IF you use a smooth cycling action with the lever. If you have a herky-jerky style of operating the lever you'll have jams and hesitations, etc. The 38/357 is most problematic with 38's if you don't use a smooth operation of the lever. I never have any problems with that one shooting 38's but when my tooth-pick thin G/F runs it she has problems every time. I think smooth lever operation is the key to getting those pistol caliber guns to run right. I too have a Rossi in 38/357 and 45colt. Agree 100% about following thru when you move your lever. |
