disagree....It all looked attractive until I realized it was all about speed.
Ok - I am sure I might have found my 'nich' within CAS but I really didn't explore it very seriously.disagree
Why do certain demographics like to wear 5.11 Tactical everything.... why do people wear camo.... why do people wear monkey suits.... answers all as varied as the people themselvesI'm about to ask a question and it is 'not' criticism: What's the attraction to the wearing of archaic cowboy costumes?
I don't get it.
I also have a buddy who likes to put on Civil War soldier clothes and do Civil War reenactments and he couldn't answer the same question.
He just shrugged.
There's got to be an answer, but I can't seem to find it...
You aren't the only one in a long age past, I wore camo almost exclusively... but these days i don't wear camo unless its for fishing, camping or practicing fieldcraft in the woods It is really easy to tell who's a potential threat, and who isn't, if one subscribes to the philosophy of being observantCamod,
Oh, ok, I 'think' I'm beginning to understand.
I guess I'm just one of those 'odd ducks' that wears nondescript clothing, which may be my own costume, eh?
And thanks for taking the time.
there's at least 2 different levels in SASS of 'archaic cowboy costumes':archaic cowboy costumes?
I miss my Rossi 62SA takedown .22 pump. I think it was one of the South American imported copies of the venerable Winchester 1862 pump carbines... before Rossi became a part of Taurus or something like that. It was a very handy, accurate little carbine.. perfect for kids and small women.. could chamber .22 Short, .22 Long and .22LR; a version that could shoot a .22wmr would be awesome
Hmmm.... all that angst about a safety lever you don't even notice when shooting the gun....... seeing that it is an easy fix everyone can breathe easier now. Button Style Safety Replacement Plug [B-SRP] - $18.95 : Steve's Gunz, Rossi 92 Specialist What gun company hasn't added an unneeded safety their firearms?I assume you are wanting an 1892. The problem with Rossi, and possibly a factor in their financial trouble (maybe not specifically just this but in general just making their guns less appealing), is the ridiculous safety they added to them. I would never buy one in a million years and I am not alone by a long shot. Take some time and find an older one on Gunbroker without the Fing absurd safety and don't contribute to John rolling over in his grave. Same with Winchester. In fact I just noticed Turnbull offers the Winny 1892 with his touches. Pricey as hell but one of the steps he takes is to remove the (Fing absurd) tang safety... and that's my point. Clearly he understands how undesirable these superfluous warts are on a lever gun.

"A significant additional touch is our tang safety conversion process, taking the Model 1892 back to a half-cock safety as it was originally designed over a century ago."
I have the 357 with the unneeded safety. I have never used it and don't even notice that it it is there while shooting it. All I was was getting at is doesn't make sense to totally discount the gun since the remedy is a simple part to change.I for one notice the "safety" when shooting or handling those rifles that have 'em.
( Newer Winchesters , Marlins , Rossi etc... )
I find the additional "safety" :
Ugly...
Unneeded...
Annoying..
Useless...
As for the various "replacement plugs " and such that are out there...yep I am glad that they are there to be installed...
Its just the idea that in addition to buying the rifle...I now need to spend more money and my time installing a fix to a feature that I don't need or want in the first place.
As always others may have different thoughts on this and I say enjoy the added "safety"...if they like 'em or don't notice 'em.
But not for me...

I couldn't agree with you more. To me they are a defective product from the getgo and nothing but and ain't worth spending money on.Maybe I'm just goofy, but when I spend hundreds or more on a gun, I don't want to have to buy more junk to make it work right, like the AR guys do.
