I own a Rossi 720. Born on date 1994. It is a fixed sight model. The "Covert" is the actual model 720. Came hammerless. I put a hammer on mine. It's 27.5 oz empty. 29.8 oz loaded.
It's basically a K frame gun with a J frame grip. Excellent concealability for ccw. The double action trigger is smooth, but the single action is like butter. 3.3 lbs trigger pull with no creep or stacking.
The S&W 696 is a larger copy of the Rossi on a S&W L frame. 48 oz worth of heft. Rossi was made 92-97. S&W 98-2004. I prefer the Rossi to the S&W. Reasons being.
1. Cost to buy one.
2. Lighter by 20oz
3 Easier to carry
4. Better trigger pull.
5. Looks better.
They both are dead nuts reliable. Both are combat accurate.
Anyone have a 720 they love as I love mine?
Keep mine loaded with Underwood 200 gr full wadcutters with a speed strip of Blazer 200 jhps for reserve. M
