Rossi 877
I own a rossi 357 model 877, which is the same as the 677, except the 877 is stainless steel. I have always been a gun buff, but that's not why I carry one. The action is smooth and the weight is comfortable to carry all day long. I have found that my 2'' barrel is not as accuate outside of 7 yrds,(shoots a tad to the left), But it would definately could do a torso shot at that distance with no problem. I hope I never have to use it to defend myself, but I feel confident enough to trust it with my life if that time should ever come. My wife carries a Lady Rossi model 68 which also has a 2'' barrel. Her 68 seems to be a little more accurate at a greater distance than mine(go figure). Anyway thats my two cents.
