[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rossi Revolvers

Posted: 8/1/2006 10:49:02 PM EDT

I was at my local gun store this weekend and saw a new .357 for $269. I eyed it for a bit, but was in a hurry so I forgot what make it was. I believe it was a Rossi R97104. Any opinions, I'm in need of a handgun.

Thx,

Never tried a Rossi, but I like the Tauri. It's probably a decent revolver, if not outstanding. The lifetime warranty is a big plus...

259 FOR A FACTORY FRESH 357 REVOLVER IS WORTH THAT.

I haven't had my new Rossi .38 to the range yet, but for $250 it's very nicely made, with a trick-looking vented rib (Model R85104). Decent double action trigger, very good SA. Already have a couple of Smith's, just wanted to try a "value-priced" .38 (since I rarely shoot .357's). And I think Taurus, the manufacturer, makes a decent product for the money. Nothing wrong with my Springfield 1911 from Brazil.

Readmenace buy it. I have a 2.5" 971 snubbie for several years now. Functions well, accuracy is good as long as I do my part, and not bad wheelgun for the price.

I have a Rossi .44 special with a 4 inch barrel. I believe it is a model 725. Stainless steel. Never had a problem wiht it and I have owned it for 10 years. Some of the purists will come along and tell you nothing less than S&W.
YMMV
