Just handled a Rossi Ranch Hand.45 Colt

Post by PEteacher »

Just handled a Rossi Ranch Hand in .45 Colt. I thought it might possibly be a good backpacking companion (Nope! Big bore revolver is better for me). I'm sure it would be fun for awhile, but novelty does not endure, and if I am going to pay for a movie prop, I think I will hold out for a real functioning light sabre!

I'm still undecided about whether or not to buy one. Watch the value of one of these as soon as Rossi quits production. A smart man (I'm not...) would buy one in each caliber and salt them away.

That's the same way I feel about the "John Wayne" large loops.

Well I want one.

As soon as I pay off the 94 .375 BB that I have on layway I'm going to order one in .44 magnum..
I handled one a couple weeks ago at a show and was really taken with it.

I'm sure my S&W model 29 with it's 8 3/8" barrel will be more accurate but so what?
Its just danged cool!!
