Rossi M92 .357 16" barrel - anyone have one?

Yea, Steve's DVD is good for disassembly/assembly/modifications info and comes with the ejector spring and SS follower.

But I didn't use his ejector spring. I went with the full GUNSLINGER spring kit by Lee's Gunsmithing from Brownell's for $24.95 + shipping. That way I didn't have to cut any springs ('cept magazine spring) and saved the factory springs in case I ever sell the gun they will be available for the new owner.

Greyling22, AEA, thanks. Part ordered.
Yeah the price is a bit much .... OTOH the more I think of that safety the more I HATE it.
I have a .44 Magnum Browning B-92 without any stupid "safety" and it is a NICE gun. The Rossi/Taurus "Ranch Hand" is not as well made but it's still a nice gun ....even if it serves no real practical purpose ....but that safety....:banghead:

Does the ranch hand also have the key lock on the back of the hammer? Wish I could find a replacement hammer without that ugly, useless Lawyer Lock.

Yup, sure does. How many safeties does a gun need?
1.) Stupid safety on top rear of bolt.
2.) Stupid "lawyer lock" safety on hammer.
3.) Half-cock notch on hammer.

Although to be fair #3 is authentic so the only real reason to include it is to increase the ... "round" count artificially.

I have a Rossi model 351 snubbie in .38SP that has the same hammer lock thingie ... my solution is to ignore it.

I've emailed Steve's Gunz and asked it there is any plans to make replacement hammers. I will post if I get a reply.
