On this month's American Rifleman magazine, there's an article about the new Rossis. Of particular interest is the new Ranch Hand, Rossi's version of the Mare's Leg lever-action pistol. Remember Steve McQueen in "Wanted: Dead or Alive?" Same gun.
The best news is, this gun is retailing for about $400, way, way cheaper than the Puma version ($1,200). I've always wanted a mare's leg, but could never justify the cost. Finally, the gun is within reach.
In 357mag/38sp, 44mag/44sp and 45 Colt.
Practical? Who cares? It looks cool and I want one. Supposedly it won't be available until later this year.
I'd give you links to dealers who are selling them (with pics), but I'm not sure AR15.com likes us doing that. Just Google.

I was very pleased to see that as well.  I can't wait to get one.

I too am interested in one of these little gems.  I am waiting for some user reviews, before getting too excited.

I was sure hoping for a .38/.357 version.  I don't know why I need one, but I really NEED one of those.    

My wife loves lever guns.  I need to think up some psychological scheme to get her on this bandwagon..........

No real interest in these, but ... the .44 Mag and hot loaded 45 Colt have significant recoil in the Rossi 92 clones. I can only imagine how much worse the recoil would be in the ranch hand. I would only consider one in .357.  

I also happen to love the 357 in a carbine, it gains a lot of velocity and becomes a very potent round.
