Are Rossi .357 revolvers junk?

[Nosferatu]

The fit, finish, trigger and accuracy of my Kimber K6s is worlds above any new S&W I've bought in the last 10-15 years. You'll spend roughly $1k for one though, depending on the model you choose.

I can't speak to their .357s, as the Rossi .44mag I had (not to mention the .44 carbine, a different story) ruined me for a "Rossi" anything. Shot loose in short order. JME, YMMV.....

IMHO......if you got a BAD one, it's probably a one off experience.

But then.....
Yes. I own three Rossi revolvers (2 in .38 Special and one in 357 Mag). AND of course, I own several S&W revolvers. They all work. So LUCKY me? Or, an example of.....if it's doesn't work/not working.....then, the company probably would have gone out of business a long time ago.

That all being said.....YEAH, I don't buy certain BRANDS. Mostly because of my own bias about certain brands and their designs, etc.....

To each his own.

PS.....
BUT, But, but.....I also identify as a: "Glock Hater".
LOL.

A "Glock Hater?" HA! Well then, that about says it all, don't it? Heh... I mean hey! America's Gun and all! That said, I own several Glocks, and I've actually been considering a Springer in 10mm.. I got a bad TWO Rossi's.. a revolver and a 92 carbine.. The revolver is long gone, I'll fix the carbine but right now it just isnt a priority....

Comment was made.....
Just so that some people would have a better perspective. LOL.

Aloha, Mark

PS.... Once upon a time....I actually owned one (and sold it off). For ME, it was sort of.......
Blasphemy to own one. So then.....



The video below.....might just HELP some people to understand it all a little better..

I love and own/have owned many Brownings.. Doesnt mean that I hafta hate Glocks. For reasons, the G19 has for now replaced the BHP as my "most likely to be carried"... and I do love the BHP, BTW, FWIW! I do like the new 15 rnd mags for the BHP...

I had one shot like a laser no issues when you used 38's but if you used 357 mag it would skip cylinders !

Saw this for less than $500 new and knowing Rossi reputation I assume it's junk? Anyone have experience with Rossi revolvers?

Rossi Revolver RM66

The RM66 features Rossi’s prized double action trigger, and an unbelievably crisp single action trigger pull. The legendary Rossi revolvers return with a bang

Just got the Rossi review in the American Rifleman. They are being positioned above the standard Taurus revolvers. Since the roll-out is fairly high profile for Rossi, I woul imagine that they are giving their product heavy scrutiny. S&W style riveted, hammer mounted firing pins. All that is left is for Rossi to re-introduce the 988 Cyclops, which is an amazingly accurate revolver.
