    I saw a Rossi revolver in .357 the other day at Bradis and I thought it may be a good truck gun.

    It was only about 300 bucks, so its not gona break the bank.

    Just looking for some opinions on them.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    :yesway: or :noway: or :xmad: or :D or whatever.

    I had a 4 inch 357 and it was great gun for the bucks spent. Went bang every time and was pretty accurate.:yesway:

    I'm glad to hear some positive reviews on Rossi. I was thinking it would be fun to have one in 6 or 8 inch deer legal cal. I've never hunted with a handgun but would like to try it.

    My dad bought one over 25 years ago when he was a reserve officer with the county. Never had a problem with it. Very nice looking too IMO. Its stainless with the rib vent thing on top the barrel.

    If it's new, that sounds fair. If it's used, it had better be pristine.

    I just picked up a Rossi 2" subbie blued .357mag 6-shot from the classifieds here just a couple of months ago. I only gave $225 for it.

    Great gun though

    It was new at Bradis. I think the price was around $325.00 but i cant remember exactly.

    Im pretty sure it was a 4"

    It did have a nice grip and the action felt pretty smooth. Not the greatest trigger in the world but for what I would be getting it for that doesnt matter much. It would just be a plinker and a truck gun.

    I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed.

    That makes it deer legal. It may not be the best, but I've taken a half dozen or so deer with my Taurus 607 .357mag w/ 4" barrel.

    Practice, practice, practice...

    My first pistol was a Rossi .357 for which I paid the princely sum of $275. I had to lay it away! I finally walked out with the gun carefully tucked in a $15 Uncle Mike's. I still have it and love it. It had one incorrect side plate screw, and I broke the firing pin; Numrich's had plenty of both parts on hand. Despite my beautiful 1911s and Smith revolvers, I will probably be buried with that old 4" Rossi and nylon Uncle Mike's side holster.

    Excellent choice, my friend.
