Whats it worth, this is the .357 version and in very good condition. Gentleman would like $300 for it but its hard tellin if its worth that with some of the searches I have made. I understand this is an older version which was a bit rough around the edges. Am I better off buying a new one.


As a side question can I shoot my .38 practice rounds through this as I would my GP100. They are Lee's 125 RF over 4.6g of HP38? Thanks for any help.

If it's in nice shape $300 is a reasonable price. New ones run $450-$480 range and they shoot .38'sjust fine. I own one and it's my favorite levergun.

I just bought a new Rossi 92 in 45LC with the a 24" octagon barrel for 450$. The only reason I got it, is my buddy has an older 92 in .357 to match his Ruger, it shoots really well. They are rough in looks, but seem to be put together mechanically really well.

I would shoot the one you are looking into buying with the ammo you want to use and see how it feels. If you like it, and it looks good over all, it might be worth the 300$ he is asking for it.

I bought a Rossi M-92 in 454 Casull NIB about a year ago. It is a very nice rifle both in fit and finish. It had handles everything from 45 Colt cowboy loads up to full throttle Casull loads without any problems. Now Rossi/Legacy will tell you that the 454 model's receiver IS especially heat treated to take the pressure. I paid a "bit" more at Gander Mountain that you guys are quoting tho. I'd buy it again!

PS. It is a pussycat with 45 Colt loads but kicks worse than my Marlin 45-70 with full bore Casull loads.

I agree with the others--that should be a good buy. I have an older model in .44 mag which I really like, especially the fact that it doesn't have the goofy bolt safety like the newer ones do.

Light loads are a lot of fun too, and I think you'll really enjoy your .38 loads. I have a .44 load using magnum brass, a 200 grain cast RNFP bullet over 6 grains of Clays that feels like a .22.
