The 92 was designed for "pistol length" cartridges. The 94 wasn't. IMO tweaking a long-actin 94 to feed/time a short pistol cartridge is asking for troubles, someday, somewhen.
Buy a Rossi... and have NKJ slick it up. But buy a 92 regardless.

Seperate Brass from Nickle (flaking issues), & .38 from .357 
then check for damage & trim to length.
Unless you are into precision shooting (& 100%+ powder density loads) nothing else is really important.
