I'm assuming you have the Outlaw, and want the 45 ACP cylinder.....you might measure the 45 LC cylinder and ask VTI to "sellect" one that length. Should work if VTI is agreeable.

Get your 44......start with 44 special loads and work up to as stout as you want. If it's going to be a carry gun, you probably don't want full house 44 Mag loads anyway.....shoot the bad guy and three by-standers behind him! Practice will get you where you want to go.

Re: Rossi M92 45Colt accuracy?

Hi All,

Another possibility.....how new is the rifle.....how many rounds through it? In a rifle NIB you might need to fire 200-300 rounds through it to rub out the factory rough stuff. Perhaps a little bore lapping would turn the trick.
