Rossi warranty test

[darrellkansas]

Took my 10 day old Rossi revolver out fot the first time today.Took 100 rounds Winchester 130 gr FMJ flat nose.Out of the 100 rounds fired 6 times I tryed to co*k the hammer and it would move back about 3/8-1/2 inch and stopped,tryed the trigger and same thing.I would finish the cylinder rotation by hand and shoot until the hammer/trigger lock up happened again and again and again turn the cylinder and shoot.
Called Rossi and its going back tomorrow thru the dealer.
We will see how the Rossi cust. service is going to treat me.One thing I can say good so far is they are going to pay shipping both ways since the gun is 10 DAYS OLD.

My Dad bought his 7 days before me and has no problems,go figure

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Rossi. It is so aggrevating when something new has problems.

I finally ran across a Rossi .44 Spl at the last gun show, but I was cash poor and had to let it stay. Have another deal going. I really like the .44 Spl. too.

We will all be interested in how Rossi handles it. I would suspect they will treat you right.

That happened to me once on a Taurus, I called Gander Mountain and spoke with the manager and tld him, IF YOU TAKE THIS BACK, I will buy the Ruger, which was about $100.00 more.

They took me up on it.

Something maybe to try if you ever crap out again in future. It happens to everyone from time to time.
