Re: Rossi 92 - My next move

It's funny. I found myself thinking, "hmmm, maybe this thing will break in over time". I had a good time all in all. I've put 400 to 500 rounds through it and each area that was a problem seems to be a little bit better. That said, it is surprisingly accurate. And it is great looking. I wo...

Re: Rossi 92 - My next move

Hey, I can play by the rules. However, I thought the point of using the Acronym was to clean it up.

My mentioning it was a reflection of my suprise, nothing more. I have, and will continue to appreciate everyones advice.

Huh, I used the acronym for *deleted* and system translated it into "bad times" when I submitted. Wow.

Re: Rossi 92 - My next move

Well, I am pleased to say that I had a nice day at the range with my Rossi. Not great, but nice. I switched out the plastic mag follower and tried some different ammo and had some good results. I will still be sending it to Steve, because it is a bad times gun and I want to take as many different ty...

Re: Ammo for Rossi 92 with loading issues

I guess what I am asking is, how do you know what size they actually are? Some seem to be very slightly longer or shorter, are you just buying them and measuring, or is there some sort of comparison guide?

Ammo for Rossi 92 with loading issues

I am looking for ammo suggestions for my Rossi in 357 and 38. One thing I was hoping to find was reference material describing cartridges by length. The manufacturer’s sites don't seem to offer any info on this point. I want to try different ammo, but I want to be methodical in approach.

Re: Rossi 92 - My next move

Wow, how nice it was to see your responses this morning. Thank you Gentlemen. From what I have been reading, I won't be sending the gun to Rossi for the fix. I’ll try Steve if I get too intimidated or frankly struggle to find the time over the holiday. I’m more worried that I would do harm. I just d...

Rossi 92 - My next move

Hello, This is my first visit to the forum, but I have been following for a little bit. I bought a Rossi 92 .357 ss 20" as a companion to my Security Six .357 ss 4". I shot the 92 today and... I was disappointed. Man, I really wanted it to be fantastic, but alas... First, it looked great. ...
