    Rossi R92's are making a come back

    I read on a couple forums that Braztech has already sent out new stock. They're only making 20" SS round barrels for now, .357 and 44. GB has a few listed, price should be 504.00 + or - and it looks like sellers are trying to get a premium for them. Ymmv

    One popped up on davidsons a week or so ago and was sold before I could grab it. I hope they show up for reasonable prices again!

        Me too, look what happened when Marlin moved. The Rossi's where already a little iffy. I read that they got rid of the hammer safety and the guns msrp was less than the last production.

            Not that I know of. I read they just deleted the hammer safety but they still have that silly cheap looking bolt safety.

                Been trying to pick up another in .357, but they are rare as hens teeth.

                  I was able to snag two of blued 16" .357 3.5 years ago. I purchased the second one right after my son nearly absconded with the first one. I purchased the second, coincidentally, on the occasion of his 25th birthday. He still compliments that little carbine (and plinks with it in the Rockies where he is currently working).

                  While I am always interested in another 16" .357, I'd also like to acquire a 20" stainless .44. Thanks for the heads up!

                      I got real lucky and scored a 16 inch puma, pre Taurus, no safety a few months ago. Cheap too. I was stoked.

                        I had no idea they were hard to come by. I bought mine (357, blued, round barrel) 2 or 3 years ago. I've toyed with the idea of getting a Winchester '73 and selling the Rossi, but the darn thing shoots and functions so well, I can't rationalize it. It's a great little rifle.

                          I have a .45 Colt pre-safety and a .44 which I picked up when Big 5 was closing them out. Both blued 20-inch barrels They are fun little guns. I just ignore the little safety switch on the bolt. I usually run .44 SPL level loads in magnum cases in the .44 and standard .45 Colt loads in the .45. I have had no problems with either one. I like using the coated bullets in them, usually a RNFP or TC style for smooth feeding, though I haven't had any issues with SWC.

                            I'm interested in getting a 16" barrel one in 357 mag. The extra 4" barrel length makes it noticeably longer and doesn't do much for velocity with pistol calibers.

                            I'll settle for a 44 mag or 45 Colt if a must.
