My two cents:
Lee; I love Lee products. One of my favorite, of the seven presses on my bench, is a Lee Breechlock, but when I load cartridge cases .45 Colt or larger, or any bottle neck cartridges, I use my RCBS RockChucker. It's mass makes resizing those larger cartridges easier. Every tool has it's place.
Rossi: I used to like Rossi revolvers, then they got owned by Taurus. See below.
Taurus: I have a Taurus PT22 that I've had a number of years. It is amazingly accurate. It will digest any brand of .22 ammo. HV, Subsonic, it'll even feed shorts if you only load three in the magazine. One day the nylon buffer fell apart. The firearm won't work without it. Jams with the slide to the rear every shot. Part's not covered under warranty. I call Taurus and order 10 replacements, as they're only a dollar each, and the shipping is eight dollars.
A month goes by, no part. I call. They're out of stock and on back order. Two months, three months, four months. On the fifth month, they tell me that the part arrived, but they're too busy with an inventory to send me my part.:banghead: I got my part a month after that.
I'll never purchase another product warranted by Taurus.
Hi Pernt: Not made for constant range use, but they go bang when they're supposed to. Brings self defense to people who otherwise could not afford it. Rumored to have the best customer service in the industry, probably because they get lots of practice. I'd own a carbine, but have no use for their pistols.
