I picked up a Rossi 44 magnum revolver this weekend at my local Academy, as part of their black friday sale. I can't find much info on the web about these things other than Taurus imports them as 4 inchers, then cuts them down to 2 inches, reblues them and sells them under the Rossi name.
Anyways, got it to the range yesterday. Amazingly accurate. Was putting 44 specials holding it two handed into touching holes at 10 and 15 feet (give me a break--I am not Harry Callahan), and kept them within a 4 inch circle at 20 feet--when I concentrated. Has a hiviz front sight and fixed rear sight. Action wasnt real smooth but appears to be getting better after the range time--ran 80 rounds through it. Then I calculated how much the ammo cost that I ran through it--yikes! Going to explore reloading.
Did anyone else get one of these or am I the only crazy one? I feel good about my purchase and was wondering if others made the plunge.
I will get some pics up tomorrow if anyone is interested.
thanks
