A local gunshop had this new 20" Rossi 92 that they had for several months, with no lookers. I had traded into a new in the box AR, unfired, that I had about $450 in actually money in. I asked the owner if he would be interested in a trade of some kind. He said sure bring it in. I did and he asked what I was interested in, I pointed to the .45 and voiced that he had had it for over 6 months. He offered me a even trade, but I asked $150, due to a fella drooling over the AR before we had traded. We settled on $100 coming to me, and I beat it out the door. This rossi, like me other 2 .44 mags I had posted about on here, has high polish and bluing, nice walnut wood, Brazilian Walnut or Ipe I think it is called. I shot it across sand bags at my 120 yd 5" clanger, and only had to move the rear sight elevator one notch, the next 4 hit it dead on, about 2.5" group, using 255 gr Cowboy loads, factory. Then I switched to some Federal 225 gr JHPs and they hit about 2" high, so all I had to do was use a 6 o clock hold and knock the paint off of the center of the clanger. About the same size group. It works slick, functions a little tight, but not rough, as a new rifle should be expected to be. I have hear a lot of horror stories about Rossi 92's on this and other forums, but I must be lucky because I have not one issue with either of these 3 recent trades. Thought I would share.
