I've tried searching but haven't found anything addressing this. I may haven't tried the right combination in the search box. But I'm making this thread anyway. I've never owned a revolver, but I think it might be time for me to diversify. I know Smith revolvers are supposed to be top-notch and I will probably end up getting one of them anyway.
But I wanted to ask about the quality and reliability of the Rossi revolvers. I don't know anyone that has one to ask what their opinion is of them. I know plenty of people with Taurus revolvers, but none that shoot Rossis. I'm completely in the dark about revolvers, especially barrel lenghts. But I saw a Rossi in .357 at a gun shop that might have been a snubbie or maybe just a little longer. It had the barrel compensated which I thought was a cool idea. But I don't know if that was custom done or what. I haven't found any information about Rossi offering a compensated factory option. I thought it might be a good revolver to start with and the ole lady has always wanted a revolver. I thought maybe the comp would make it a little easier for her to shoot as well. Does anyone know if it's a specific model or it's custom?
What about Rossi in general?
