Rossi Firearms, Are they worth buying?

Question

I know Rossi is made by Taurus but they look so poorly made does any one out there have one and what do you think?

Answer 1

I am not a fan of Rossi guns. While they are not junk, they are not top of the line by any means. Rossi makes a sort of decent gun at a lower price. When you look at them closely, you will see that the fit and finish are not as good as on other brands. They shoot okay but are never going to be tack drivers. I guess if you are looking for a plinker and that is all you can find that you like, it will be okay but you might be better off buying a used Winchester, Taurus, Remington, or other name brand for the same price as a new Rossi.

There's no way I can tell you exactly when it was made. Generally Rossi makes cheaper firearms so I would put the value of that at $200-225 at the most, and probably a little less since it's used. The gun should have the model and serial number on it, ask the seller to tell you what it is before you buy it. You can do research on your own if you know more about it, but otherwise you're just trusting the previous owner to be a really nice guy.

Answer 4

so tugar what you are saying is you have never actually and or even fired a rossi but are giving your opinion strictly from what you feel is because it doesn't look pretty?
I've owned several of the rossi's and smith and Wesson ruger sig colt and others. NO company makes a perfect firearm. no company has perfect 100 percent of time flawless quality control. I have never yet had a rossi firearm fail on me. I cannot say the same about the ruger or smith and Wesson. they were particular about the ammo used. as for your question yes I would put my lives in the hands of a rossi firearm. you need to research and learn what you are talking about before you spew off at the mouth in the future.

Since Taurus took over, yes, detail has dropped. That said Rossi is still a very good gun for the money. My own 2 favorites are my Model 92 Stainless 38/357 and my Model 972 Stainless 38/357 with an unfluted cylinder. These are my "Go To" guns when I m out riding the ranch. Both are original Rossi guns that have seen thousands of rounds over the years and "once" my son blew out the firing pin retaining pin using magnum loads I had for the rifle and used by mistake in my revolver. Couldn t wait for the pin from Rossi so I used a roller pin for .89 cents and that was a couple years ago at least. You can"t kill them. What they call "Fluff and Buff" today was standard when I was coming up and taught my son the same thing. His Taurus 608, a .357 8-shot revolver is a work horse. That boy has put 10,000 rounds through that gun at least and it is still shooting FINE ! As an earlier man noted, "I would bet my life on a Rossi". The "old" and the "new" Rossi!

The best way to answer your question is with some food for thought. Firearms and Fishing have one thing in common, a lot of myths. Over the years I have owned and used a wide variety of brands and models along with being an Armorer having worked on quite a few. To make a point about my background I put over 300,00 rounds through the same Glock Pistol in two years exceeding that after the Frame was replaced using the original Slide. At 500 yards I put Three rounds of .308 in a group the size of a Dime with a special purpose rifle. Rossi has been around for over 100 years. I have purchased them, pushed them hard like any of the others using high pressure reloads, and to date not a one fail. I have a relative who shoots a Rossi 45-70gov't loading ammo that pushes 3,000lbs of energy at the muzzle, the Rifle is accurate, and shows no indication of failing.

I'm in the market for a Taurus 65 357 4" bbl. now went to dealer to set up a sale. When I decided to look at some used guns he had for sale. First one he showed me was a Rossi 357. Now today's re valves have that block for the ha,met when released can't damage the pin but this particular Rossi has the firing pin exposed . I wanted to buy it but steered away because of the hammer and that it's not recommended to dry fire a gun that does . So how old is this revolver or is this the way Rossi revolvers are as far as a firing pin

Answer 10

I have dozens of firearms from large to small caliber, inexpensive to quite pricey and everything in between. Rossi makes a good inexpensive firearm (I own 3) that shoots well, looks good and always fires when I want it to with very good accuracy. I would purchase another if the opportunity presented itself. The only thing I would like to see improved would be a little better removal of tool marks from machining. But it's accuracy and reliability are on par with any .357 Mag that I have ever shot, and I shoot a lot. I am on my range most every day of the year and have fired thousands of rounds from my Rossi with no problems and very good accuracy. If you like it buy it, as I like the 3 I have very much.
